Thanks for the replies ! But it's not clear yet

Could someone check please ? 😉 |

From the 1957 Parts Manual:
111813741 Weatherstrip (length 820 mm.) Engine cover plate, front
I don't think the parts manual has your answer. If there was a change then VW decided that the new part was interchangeable with the old version. |

Hi
I update this topic, it's double lip there, but how seal lip has to go correctly? I lip over the tin one under ( not easy to do) ? Both over?
Thanks for the help
