Will this sliding door handle trim seal fit my early Vanagon?

This trim seal is designed for 1980-1984 Vanagons, and some 1985 models. A key fit note is the measurement from the keyhole to the end of your handle. If it measures 5.75 inches, this is likely not the correct trim piece for you. If you need the later-style trim, please check our other listing.

How do I know if I need this specific Vanagon seal or the later style?

The easiest way to tell is by measuring your current sliding door handle. If the distance from the keyhole to the outer end of the handle is exactly 5.75 inches, this early model trim seal will not fit. For handles measuring 5.75 inches, you'll need the later-style replacement.

Is this an original Vanagon part or an aftermarket replacement?

This sliding door handle trim is a quality aftermarket part. It's manufactured to fit your early Vanagon model and provide a durable replacement to help seal your sliding door.

What years and models of Vanagon are compatible with this sliding door trim?

This trim seal works with 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, and some 1985 Vanagon models. It's compatible with both 2WD and 4WD variants, and various trim levels including Westfalia Campers, Weekenders, and Multivans.
