Beetle Bonnet Handle Seal Set - 1968-79 - White

Replacement pair of bonnet handle seals designed to fit under the front bonnet handle on all Volkswagen Beetles from 1968 to 1979. These seals sit between the bonnet handle base and the bonnet panel, helping protect the paintwork while preventing water and dirt from entering around the handle mounting area.

Manufactured in a crystal clear / white finish similar to the original style seals, these gaskets provide a neat factory-correct appearance and are ideal for restorations or replacing old hardened seals. Over time, original seals often become brittle, shrink, or crack, which can allow moisture behind the bonnet skin and contribute to corrosion around the handle area.

These seals cushion the bonnet handle against the bodywork while creating a protective barrier to help maintain a watertight seal. Supplied as a pair for both upper and lower mounting positions.

How They Work
The seals fit between the bonnet handle assembly and the bonnet panel. When the handle is tightened into place, the seals compress slightly to form a protective barrier that prevents moisture, dirt, and vibration from damaging the paint or entering the bonnet structure.
