This gasket for the small end of the exterior door handle is a vital sealing component used on several classic VW models to prevent water ingress and ensure a snug, vibration-free fit. Located at the tip of the door handle where it mounts to the door skin, this gasket helps protect the paintwork and keeps moisture from creeping behind the handle — a common area for corrosion on older vehicles.
Specifically designed for use on all VW Beetles from 1968–1979, including Mexican Beetles, Type 3 models from 1968–1973, and Karmann Ghias from 1968–1974, this reproduction part is moulded to original specifications for a correct and clean fit.
Ideal for restorations or replacements during repainting, it ensures your handle sits flush against the body as originally intended.
Note: This is the smaller of the two gaskets used per handle. If you`re replacing both, we recommend ordering the full seal kit (part number: 111837211KIT) which includes all four gaskets for a pair of handles.
