Maintaining the exterior of your classic Volkswagen requires attention to the smallest details. If you notice wind noise or water leaking into your door cards, it is likely time to replace your Mk1 Side Mirror Gaskets. At WestCoastRoccos, we offer these high-quality replacement gaskets to help you seal out the elements and protect your restoration investment.
Protect Your Doors from Corrosion
The side mirror gasket serves as a critical barrier between your mirror housing and the door skin. Over time, original rubber gaskets dry out, shrink, and crack due to UV exposure. Consequently, water can seep behind the mirror and into the inner door cavity. This moisture often leads to hidden rust and can ruin your interior door panels. Therefore, installing fresh gaskets is a simple way to “make it right” and prevent expensive bodywork down the road.
Our gaskets provide:
-
A Precision Fit: Molded specifically for the Mk1 chassis mirror base.
-
High-Quality Material: Made from durable rubber designed to resist weathering and cracking.
-
Noise Reduction: Eliminates the annoying “whistle” caused by air passing through gaps in old, shrunken seals.
Side Mirror Gasket Compatibility and Installation
These gaskets are designed specifically for the Mk1 chassis, including the Scirocco, Rabbit, Jetta, and Pickup (Caddy). Whether you are performing a full respray or just a weekend tune-up, replacing these seals adds a crisp, finished look to your exterior.
Installation is straightforward and requires only basic hand tools. First, remove the interior mirror trim and unscrew the mounting hardware. Then, simply slide off the old, brittle gasket and press the new one into place. Because these are fresh rubber, they will compress slightly to create a watertight seal as you tighten the mirror back onto the door.
Excellence in Every Detail
We believe that every part on your Volkswagen should meet a high standard of quality. Specifically, these gaskets ensure your mirrors sit flush against the body, maintaining the clean lines of the original Giugiaro design. Thus, you achieve a professional-grade restoration result without hunting through salvage yards for “good” used rubber.
Stop ignoring those small leaks and start refreshing your exterior trim. The Mk1 Side Mirror Gasket is an affordable upgrade that makes a big difference in the longevity of your car. Trust WestCoastRoccos for the authentic parts and specialized knowledge that keep your legendary Volkswagen on the road!
