111-821-715AGR VW Beetle High-Quality Fender Beading - Glossy Black (Pair)

VW High-Quality Fender Beading (Glossy Black Pair) – 111-821-715AGR

The 111-821-715AGR is a premium fender-to-body seal designed for the classic Volkswagen Beetle. While the silver/grey version offers a custom look, this Glossy Black beading provides the traditional factory aesthetic with a high-luster finish that complements any paint color. This is the High-Quality (AGR) version, which is notably superior to economy plastic alternatives. It is manufactured from a softer, more flexible compound that resists the "crimping" often seen when navigating the tight curves of the front cowl and rear quarters.

Sold as a pair, this beading features a specialized UV-stabilized coating that prevents the black finish from turning grey or "chalky" after exposure to the sun. Functionally, it acts as a gasket to prevent the fender from rubbing directly against the body's paint, effectively stopping vibration noise and preventing the onset of rust in the fender seams. The pre-notched design ensures it sits deep and flush within the mounting channel for a seamless, professional appearance.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Avoid Adhesive: You do not need glue or tape to install this beading. It is designed to be held in place by the clamping force of the fender bolts.

• Warmth is Key: Even with high-quality flexible vinyl, installing the beading on a warm day (or using a hairdryer to soften it) will help the "bead" sit perfectly straight along the body line.

• Bolt Pattern: Loosely start all fender bolts first, then tuck the beading into the gap before tightening. This prevents the beading from twisting or getting caught in the bolt threads.

• Wax Protection: When waxing your car, try to avoid getting wax on the black beading, as it can leave white residue in the grain. If you do get wax on it, a soft toothbrush and a little dish soap will clean it right off.
