VW Cigarette Lighter Knob Cap Insert – 111-941-544 Complete your interior restoration with this Cigarette Lighter Knob Cap Insert. This small but essential detail is the decorative plastic cap that presses into the center of the cigarette lighter knob. It features the factory-correct "cigarette" symbol, providing the finishing touch for a clean and organized late-model dashboard. Because these inserts are small and made of plastic, they are frequently lost, scratched, or faded over the years. Replacing a missing or damaged insert is a quick and inexpensive way to refresh the look of your dashboard switches. This reproduction is designed to match the original font and icon style used by Volkswagen during the late 1960s and 1970s.

Direct Press-Fit: Designed to snap securely into the center of the original or reproduction soft-rubber dashboard knobs. Late-Model Correct: Matches the aesthetic of the headlight, wiper, and emergency flasher knob inserts used from 1968 onwards. Durable Construction: Made from high-quality plastic that resists UV fading and typical interior wear. Technical Specifications Part Number: 111-941-544 Application: Cigarette Lighter Switch Knob Material: Black Plastic with White Icon Fitment Type: Snap-in Insert Installation & Maintenance Tips The "Snap" Fit: These inserts are held in place by friction. If your new insert feels slightly loose in an old knob, a tiny drop of clear adhesive on the back rim will keep it secured permanently. Removing Old Inserts: If you need to remove a damaged insert, avoid prying from the front with a screwdriver, as this will gouge the soft rubber of the knob. Instead, push it out from the back if the knob is removed from the dash. Matching the Set: If your lighter knob insert looks brand new, your headlight (111-941-543G) and wiper (111-955-549) inserts might look yellowed by comparison. It is often best to replace all dashboard inserts at once for a uniform "show-car" appearance. Cleaning: Clean only with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh interior chemicals or abrasives, which can wear off the white printed symbol on the face of the cap. 111941544
