What exactly is this door release finger plate for my VW Bus or Vanagon?

The door release finger plate is a small but essential component that attaches to your door handle mechanism. Its purpose is to provide a comfortable and secure grip when you pull the door release lever, preventing your fingers from slipping and making it easier to open the door. It's designed to protect the paintwork around the handle area as well.

Which specific VW models and years does this door finger plate fit?

This high-quality aftermarket door release finger plate is compatible with Type 2 Buses from 1968 to 1979 and all Vanagons from 1980 to 1991. This includes 2WD and 4WD models, various trims like Campmobile and Westfalia, and both manual and automatic transmission vehicles.

Is this a genuine GoWesty part, or what's the manufacturer?

This specific door release finger plate is a quality aftermarket part, not an original GoWesty branded item. It's manufactured to meet or exceed the standards of the original equipment, ensuring a great fit and reliable performance for your vintage VW.

How many of these finger plates do I need for one door?

This Door Release Finger Plate is sold individually. You will need one finger plate per door that you intend to service. If you are replacing the plates on both front doors, for example, you would need to order two.
