None of the parts were NOS, I kinda though they would be.

The door hinge plugs, dont fit either.

The switch looks pretty good, but its obviously not VW

The seals are just seals, no VW logo on them.


Its my fault for not checking twice before ordering parts.

Where can i find a NOS turn signal switch? What about Nos engine compart seals? Thing Shop? German Motor Works?

you will be hard pressed to find NOS engine seals. if you do, they won't be had for $5.95.

the hinge plugs are the wrong part number, so no surprise they don't fit.

if the switch came in an SWF box it is as good as NOS, the originals are SWF. if not, it is a cheaper aftermarket part.

It came in a KMM box.

Someone said the beetle door hinge plugs would fit. These turned out not to fit.

thanks though for your help.
