Beetle Upper Bonnet Latch - 1968-79
Part Number: 111823507FR
Keep your Volkswagen Beetle’s bonnet securely fastened with this internal bonnet catch, designed to fit all Beetle models from 1968–1979, including the 1302 and 1303 (Super Beetle) variants. This catch mounts neatly on the inside of the bonnet, engaging with the release mechanism to ensure a firm and reliable closure every time.
Manufactured to original specifications, this part offers excellent durability and a precise fit, making it ideal for both restorations and daily drivers. A properly functioning bonnet catch is essential for vehicle safety and to prevent bonnet lift while driving — especially on aircooled Beetles where proper front-end alignment and sealing are critical.
This part is a direct replacement for the original Volkswagen item and can be installed using existing mounting points. For best results, check the condition of your bonnet release cable and latch assembly, as worn components can affect smooth operation.
