111-809-086C VW Beetle Right Rear Quarter Repair Panel (1946-1967)

VW Rear Quarter Sheet Metal (Right Passenger Side) – 111-809-086C

The 111-809-086C is the matching passenger-side companion to our previously discussed driver-side panel. This high-quality weld-in repair skin is specifically engineered to replace the rust-prone lower rear quarter section on "early" and "middle-era" air-cooled Beetles. This area—located between the door opening and the rear wheel arch—is a notorious trap for moisture and debris kicked up by the tires, leading to significant structural and cosmetic rot.

Stamped from heavy-gauge steel, this panel provides a permanent solution for restoring the vehicle's structural integrity. It is designed to mirror the factory curvature of the 1946–1967 body style, ensuring that the fender mounting flange and the interface with the heater channel are positioned exactly as they were originally. Whether you are performing a concours restoration or a weekend patch-up, this panel eliminates the need for messy, temporary fiberglass repairs.

Detailed Vehicle Compatibility This panel is designed for the following "Standard" Beetle models:

VW Beetle (Standard):

• 1946, 1947, 1948, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967

Product Highlights & Features

• Precision Stamping: Features the correct lower wheel arch "flare" specific to the pre-1968 body design.

• Structural Foundation: Heavy-duty steel allows for strong MIG or TIG welding, restoring the strength of the rear cabin area.

• Corrosion Protection: Typically coated in a thin protective layer of oil or transport primer to prevent surface rust during storage.

• Right-Side Specific: Engineered specifically for the passenger side (Right Hand) to ensure all body lines flow correctly toward the rear fender.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Mark and Cut Carefully: Use the new panel as a template by laying it over the rusted area and marking the perimeter. Cut slightly inside your lines to allow for precise "butt-welding" fitment.

• Inner Panel Inspection: Once the old skin is removed, check the B-Pillar base and the Rear Crossmember for rust. It is much easier to repair these internal sections while the quarter panel is open.

• Heat Management: When welding sheet metal, work in small "tack" welds at different locations to prevent the heat from warping the large, flat areas of the body.

• Seal the Backside: After welding and grinding, apply a high-quality seam sealer to the inside joints and coat the interior cavity with a rust-inhibiting wax or paint to prevent moisture from sitting in the new weld seams.
