VW Beetle Inner Door Scraper – 111-475A-L The 111-475A-L is a precision-fit inner window scraper designed specifically for the driver-side (left) door of the air-cooled VW Beetle Sedan. This seal, often referred to as a "window slot seal," attaches to the inner door panel along the base of the door glass. It features a specialized felt or "fuzzies" lining that rests against the window, allowing the glass to slide up and down smoothly while providing a firm guide to prevent glass vibration and rattling. Beyond aesthetics, the 111-475A-L plays a crucial role in protecting your interior. It prevents debris from falling into the door cavity and helps stabilize the window regulator mechanism by reducing lateral movement of the glass. Over decades, these scrapers become brittle, cracked, or lose their felt lining, which can lead to scratched window glass and annoying cabin noise. This replacement part restores that factory-fresh feel and quiet operation to your classic Beetle's cabin. Detailed Vehicle Compatibility This scraper is designed for the specific door and glass dimensions used during the mid-60s transition years: VW Beetle (Standard Sedan): 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968 Product Highlights & Features Felt-Lined Channel: High-quality "fuzzy" lining protects your door glass from scratches while providing a smooth sliding surface. Driver Side Specific: Custom-contoured for the left-side (USA driver side) door of Sedan models. Anti-Rattle Design: Provides the necessary tension against the glass to eliminate "window slop" and wind noise at higher speeds. OE Specification: Matches the original factory profile for a seamless appearance that fits correctly with your stock door panels. Technical Specifications Part Number: 111-475A-L Position: Inner Door (Left / Driver Side) Body Style: Sedan (Not for Convertible) Material: Rubber with Felt/Flock Lining Installation & Maintenance Tips Remove the Door Panel: For a clean installation, it is usually necessary to remove the inner door panel. This allows you to seat the metal clips or friction-fit profile correctly along the door's inner lip. Clean the Glass First: Before installing the new scraper, thoroughly clean your door glass. Any grit or old adhesive stuck to the window can immediately damage the new felt lining. Alignment Check: Ensure the scraper is perfectly level before snapping it into place. If it is pinched or twisted, the window may become difficult to crank up or down. Check the Clips: If your car uses the metal clip-on style, ensure the clips are not rusted or bent. You may need to replace the mounting clips (sold separately) to ensure the scraper stays tight against the door. 111837475AGR 111-837-475AGR
