Will this Vent Wing Seal without Groove fit my Vanagon?

This left side Vent Wing Seal without Groove is designed for all Volkswagen Vanagon models from 1980–1991, regardless of whether your van is 2WD or 4WD, and works with both manual and automatic transmissions. Please double-check your vent wing’s seal style before ordering, as this seal is for the type without a groove.

How does the 'without groove' seal differ from the groove style?

The 'without groove' Vent Wing Seal is made specifically for vent windows that do not have a groove in the window frame for the seal to sit in. If your original seal fit into a channel or groove, you’ll need the groove-style version instead. Installing the incorrect seal can result in poor fit or leaks, so be sure you’re choosing the right type for your Vanagon’s window.

Is the installation of this seal difficult for a DIY mechanic?

Replacing your Vanagon's vent wing seal is a straightforward job for most DIYers with some patience. We recommend carefully removing the old seal and cleaning the window frame thoroughly before installing the new one. Using a bit of soapy water can help ease the new seal into position. Allow time for the seal to adjust and form a good, tight fit.

What material is this vent wing seal made from, and does it last?

This vent wing seal is made from high-quality, automotive-grade rubber that creates a tight seal against wind and water. It’s designed to match original Vanagon specifications for excellent durability and reliable performance in all weather conditions. Many customers report a significant improvement in wind noise and weather resistance after installation.

How can I ensure this seal will fit properly before I buy?

Before purchasing, inspect your left side vent wing to confirm it uses a seal without a groove—look for a smooth frame rather than one with a recessed channel. Double-check Vanagon model year and side (this is for the left/driver’s side). Buying the correct style avoids fitment issues and ensures your vent window seals out noise and water just like the original.

Good fit

Vent window seal

Purchase rubber for window seals in the past. Upon inspection the seals are well made. Thanks GoWesty. Appreciate the great value of the seals. R/Jeff

Perf

Great

Good quality fits well

Changing this rubber seal is more involved than the rollup window seal. You must remove both windows and the frame for the vent window. This is a great chance to tighten the vent window swing. Make it way tighter than you would think.

Then changing the rubber is straightforward a bit of finger exercise to get it to sit right.

Reinstalling it is tighter of course and this was my only difficulty (not bad but it doesn’t just pop in).

Once in that annoying whistle at highway speeds is gone.

Fits okay.

Fits a little loose on the window frame for the early vanagon but that could also be my window frame is rotted. Had to glue the side that has the latch onto the frame as it’s a little longer than the original.

Good fit, easy to install

A great replacement for old tired seals, 100% better look without the chrome. A bit pricier than other places but well worth with it, great quality. Unfortunately my project to longer than expected, list track of buying these, had to return a pair and got hit with a restocking fee. Buy them just before you need them..lol

Tight fit

Once I got fitted in, looked and performed perfectly

Keep the water out

Fits good, works good.

Go Westy has my back
