Splitscreen Bus Engine Lid Seal - 1955-67

This replacement engine lid seal is designed for all VW Splitscreen Buses built from 1955 to 1967, providing a proper airtight and weatherproof seal between the engine lid and the body. Over time, original seals become brittle, flattened, cracked, or completely perish—allowing water, dust, and engine fumes to enter the engine bay or rear luggage area. Replacing the seal is essential for protecting your engine compartment and maintaining the longevity of your classic VW.

This high-quality rubber seal fits directly onto the body of the van, running around the engine bay opening. When the engine lid is closed, it compresses cleanly against the seal for a snug, factory-correct fit. Installing a fresh engine lid seal helps reduce rattles, keeps the engine bay cleaner, and improves overall sealing performance—especially important for aircooled engines that rely on controlled airflow and reduced heat soak.

The seal is manufactured to the correct profile and length for all Split Buses from 1955 to 1967, making it ideal for restorations, daily drivers, and show vehicles alike. Installation is straightforward using adhesive or the original retaining channel, depending on your vehicle’s configuration.
