VW Reverse Light Lens to Body Seal – 111-941-373 Protect your reverse light assemblies and prevent body rot with this precision-molded Reverse Light Lens Seal. This gasket sits between the back-up light housing and the vehicle body, creating a weather-tight barrier against rain and road debris. For 1967 "One-Year-Only" Beetles and early Bay Window Buses, this is a critical component for keeping moisture out of the bulb sockets and preventing electrical shorts or terminal corrosion. Manufactured from high-grade, UV-resistant black rubber, this seal is designed to match the original factory profile. Because these lights are often mounted in areas prone to splash-back, an old, cracked, or compressed seal can lead to water pooling inside the housing or leaking into the interior engine compartment or rear quarters. Detailed Vehicle Compatibility This seal is a specific fit for the following models across these years: VW Beetle (Standard): 1967 VW Bus (Type 2 / Bay Window): 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971 VW Karmann Ghia: 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973 Product Highlights & Features Weather-Tight Protection: Engineered to compress perfectly between the housing and the body, sealing out moisture and dust. High-Quality Rubber: Flexible, long-lasting rubber compound that resists cracking and hardening from extreme temperature cycles. OEM Fitment: Correct dimensions for the unique reverse light housings used during the late 60s and early 70s. Restoration Essential: A simple and inexpensive way to prevent rust from forming behind the light assembly. Technical Specifications Part Number: 111-941-373 Application: Reverse Light Housing to Body Seal Material: Rubber Color: Black Installation & Maintenance Tips Clean Both Surfaces: Before installing the new seal, ensure both the back of the light housing and the vehicle body are free of old rubber residue and dirt. Check the Lens: If you are replacing this seal, it is the perfect time to inspect your reverse light lens for cracks. A new seal won't stop water if the lens itself is compromised. Don't Over-Tighten: Tighten the mounting screws evenly until the seal just begins to compress. Over-tightening can deform the rubber or crack the plastic housing. Preserve the Rubber: A light coating of silicone grease on the seal can help it seat better and extend its life by preventing the rubber from bonding to the paint over time. 111941373
