Beetle Number Plate Light Seal - 1953-57

This number plate light seal is a precision-moulded rubber gasket designed specifically for Volkswagen Oval Beetles produced between 1953 and 1958. It fits neatly between the number plate light housing and the engine deck lid, providing a watertight seal that prevents moisture, dirt, and vibration from damaging the paint or electrical components.

Over time, the original rubber seals often dry out, crack, or compress, allowing water to seep into the housing and cause corrosion or electrical faults. This replacement seal restores a proper factory-quality fit and helps protect your number plate light assembly, ensuring both reliability and authenticity in your restoration.

Manufactured from high-quality, weather-resistant rubber, this seal replicates the original profile exactly, maintaining the correct appearance and fit for Oval-era Beetles. Perfect for concours restorations or everyday classic use.

Features:

  • Fits between the number plate light housing and deck lid

  • Prevents water ingress and vibration damage

  • Correct profile for Oval Beetles (1953–1958)

  • Made from durable, weatherproof rubber

  • Easy to install — direct replacement for the original seal

Applications:

  • VW Beetle Oval: 1953–1958

Fitting Notes:

  • Fits between the metal light housing and the deck lid surface.

  • Recommended to replace when fitting a new number plate light or repainting the lid.
