This complete heater channel is designed to replace the left-hand side (passenger side on RHD models) of VW Beetles produced from 1968 to 1979, excluding 1302 and 1303 Super Beetles. Made from strong 19-gauge (1mm thick) steel, this panel is essential for restoring structural strength and maintaining proper heating in your aircooled Beetle.

Over time, heater channels often rust from the inside due to condensation created by hot air cooling within the channel, leading to internal corrosion that compromises the body structure and heating efficiency. This replacement panel provides a durable solution for repairing or fully replacing a corroded original unit.

Perfect for restorations, MOT repairs, or long-term preservation of your classic VW.

This complete heater channel is designed to fit the right-hand side (driver’s side on RHD models) of VW Beetles built from 1968 to 1979, excluding the 1302 and 1303 Super Beetle models. Crafted from strong 19-gauge (1mm thick) steel, this panel is essential for restoring both body strength and the car’s internal heating system.

Heater channels are especially vulnerable to corrosion from the inside due to condensation created by hot air cooling within the ducts, often leading to unseen structural failure. This replacement heater channel restores integrity and heating performance, making it a key component for any restoration or rust repair project.

Ideal for weld-in replacement during a floorpan rebuild or sill restoration.
