This stainless steel M4 x 18mm countersunk screw is a high-quality replacement designed for securing tail light and reversing light lenses on Volkswagen Split Buses, Early Baywindow Buses, and US-Spec Trekker (Type 181) models fitted with separate chrome trim rings.
Manufactured from premium stainless steel, this screw replicates the dimensions and head shape of the original VW part, ensuring a perfect fit and authentic appearance while providing superior corrosion resistance. The countersunk head sits flush within the chrome ring or lens surround, maintaining the correct look and preventing snagging or distortion.
These screws are ideal for restoration projects or routine replacements, especially where original mild steel screws have rusted or seized. They are suitable for both tail lights and reverse lights that use separate chrome rings and require two screws per lens.
