Firewall Seal for VW Air-Cooled Models

Seals firewall to front engine tin
Promotes proper airflow and optimal cooling
Installs into the factory metal channel

The firewall seal fits into the metal channel along the underside of the firewall and creates a tight seal against the front engine tin. Working in conjunction with the rear engine seal, it helps close off the upper engine cavity to maintain correct airflow for effective engine cooling.

Please Note: If you're having trouble installing the seal, we recommend using some spray-on silicone dry lubricant to make it a bit easier to slide it in place. Once installed, you may find a small bit of seal is hanging down on one or either side of the channel. Feel free to trim the excess or tuck it out of the way, so it doesn't get in the way when trying to install the engine.
