Window Scraper, Right Side, For Beetle 69-77, Each

OVERVIEW

Protecting your classic Volkswagen''s interior starts with maintaining the integrity of your window seals. This EMPI Right Side Inner Window Scraper is a critical component for any 1969 to 1977 Beetle Sedan restoration or maintenance project. Over decades of exposure to UV rays and temperature fluctuations, original factory scrapers become brittle, cracked, or completely detached, leaving your door internals vulnerable to moisture. This high-quality replacement wipes the glass surface clean every time you roll the window up or down, ensuring clear visibility while simultaneously preventing rainwater and debris from bypassing the glass and entering the door cavity. By maintaining a tight seal against the glass, you are effectively safeguarding your door panels from warping and protecting your window regulator and latch mechanisms from the corrosive effects of trapped moisture.

When it comes to air-cooled VW parts, precision is everything, and this EMPI scraper is engineered to meet the exact specifications of the late-model Beetle. Designed specifically for the passenger side (right side), this four-clip inner scraper provides a snug, factory-like fit that eliminates annoying rattles and ensures smooth window operation. Whether you are performing a full ground-up restoration or just trying to keep your daily driver in top shape, replacing a worn-out scraper is one of the most cost-effective ways to preserve your vehicle''s value. Don''t wait until you see water stains on your expensive door panels or hear the grinding of a rusted regulator; upgrade to this premium EMPI scraper and experience the peace of mind that comes with a dry, well-protected door assembly.

PRO TIPS

1. Clean the Mounting Channel Thoroughly

Before installing your new EMPI scraper, take the time to thoroughly clean the metal lip where the clips attach. Over the years, old rubber, dirt, and adhesive residue can build up in this area, preventing the new clips from seating properly. Use a small wire brush or a flat-head screwdriver wrapped in a rag with a bit of solvent to clear out the debris. A clean mounting surface ensures that the scraper sits flush against the glass, providing the best possible seal and preventing the clips from popping out during window operation.

2. Use a Silicone-Based Lubricant for Easier Installation

Installing new window scrapers can sometimes be a tight fit, especially if the door has been recently painted. To make the process smoother, apply a very light coating of silicone-based lubricant to the clips and the back of the rubber seal. This helps the scraper slide into position without binding or tearing the rubber. Avoid using petroleum-based products like WD-40, as they can cause the rubber to swell or degrade over time. The silicone will keep the rubber supple and make it much easier to snap those four clips into their respective slots.

3. Inspect Your Door Drain Holes

Whenever you are working on your window scrapers, it is the perfect time to inspect the drain holes at the bottom of your Beetle''s door. Even the best window scrapers cannot keep 100% of moisture out during a heavy downpour. Volkswagen designed the doors with small drainage slots at the bottom to let water escape. Use a small screwdriver or a piece of wire to ensure these holes are not clogged with old rust flakes, dirt, or wax. Ensuring proper drainage, combined with your new EMPI inner scraper, is the best defense against the "bottom-of-the-door" rot that plagues many classic air-cooled Volkswagens.
