Hey all, I'm looking for the official name, and part number for this interior trim piece on the sliding door. it covers the door 'catch' piece.
Thanks

My 1969 Deluxe had them and my 1974 transporter had the holes for them. FWIW

They do a nice job of covering the catch latch, in case you don't want to yank and paint the part in a parking structure in Portland.

The early rear cover though… That one is rarer than a Westy Poo Pail……

I have it at my late "Bus L" (Luxury bus version) - there is also a counterpart at the rear 221 843 700 A
(I removed this because I used the extra Westfalia door handle in the rear to pull the door and close it quietly at night time  )

Also the US Deluxe campers only based on the naked "Kombi" model with some added extra trim at the end - but are not based on the luxury bus models.

Was your bus M coded as a Westfalia?, or converted after delivery? I see alot of deluxe features in there. I'm not doubting, just curious as I've seen a few home market delivered stationwagons converted at Westfalia a few years after purchase.

I have one but it did not come with the bus. Picked it up at a Swap Meet (Stanford Hall).
Especially rare seen as it is a RHD Bus I have

We have two Riviera's and both of them have this cover.
I thought they were just standard - so I never gave them a thought before. I even purchased a new one about a month ago to replace the cracked one on my bus.

My 77 westy has the holes for this cover. I always thought that something was missing here. This cover makes the door look much more finished. It would be a cool thing to have.

Early Deluxe had front and rear covers up to 1974 model year:
Later buses just used two little black caps over the rear hinge bolts:
Westys have a door handle bolted up at the rear hinge bolts:

So Westy's didn't have the cover in the front at all?

Nope. VW made a pretty specific point out of "de-contenting" the buses before they headed over to the Westfaliawerks.
