1952-1977 Beetle Heater Channel Patch Panel RH Bottom 113801172 - OEM Number(s) (113-801-172)
This is the outer most part of your RH heater channel bottom plate. It is the bottom part of the heater channel you see when the car is fully assembled with the floor pans and running boards in place.
Over time, the normal wear and tear plus salt can play havoc on your VW Beetle Heater Channels. Heater channel bottom plates are one of the most popular pieces we offer. Most times you can find anything from squirrels nests to mouse nests burrowed deep inside your heater channel and you can repair it much easier than a full heater channel replacement by using one of these bottom plates. They come lightly painted ready for you to sand, cut and weld in place.
Most times you may not even need this full panel! you can use part of it and make your repair even easier!
If you are replacing floor pans, you should certainly make sure the 8 bolts holding the floor pan/support panel come out without ruining the threads. Now is the time to discover this before you go to reassemble.
