102-191-L/R VW Headlight Bucket to Fender Seals - Pair Bug 46-66, Bus 50-67

Headlight Bucket to Fender Seals (Pair) – 102-191-L/R

Ensure a weather-tight fit for your vintage restoration with these Headlight Bucket to Fender Seals. Designed to create a protective barrier between the headlight housing and the fender lip, these seals prevent water, dirt, and moisture from entering the headlight bucket area. By sealing this critical gap, they help protect your electrical connections from corrosion and prevent rust from forming behind the headlight assembly.

These seals feature the correct "T" profile required for early air-cooled models, allowing the top of the seal to sit flat against the body for a professional, factory-style finish. Sold as a pair, they are manufactured from high-quality, weather-resistant rubber that maintains its flexibility over time, even when exposed to harsh environmental conditions.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Clean the Lip: Before installation, thoroughly clean the fender lip and the back of the headlight bucket. Removing old rubber residue and grit ensures the new seal sits perfectly flat and creates a proper seal.

• Orientation: Install the seal with the flat "top" of the T-profile facing outward against the body. This provides the correct aesthetic and the best water-shedding performance.

• Apply a Lubricant: A light application of silicone spray or soapy water to the seal can make it much easier to slide the headlight assembly into place without the rubber bunching or catching.

• Check for Evenness: Once the headlight assembly is tightened down, inspect the perimeter of the seal. It should be evenly compressed all the way around; if it looks pinched, loosen the headlight screws and re-center the assembly.
