A missing or broken knob is one of the first things people notice in an early Beetle or Split Bus interior. This is a direct, inexpensive fix that restores both the function and the original look of the tunnel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive out the old pin with a small punch, supporting the shaft so you do not bend it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlign the new knob's hole with the shaft hole and fit a new pin; a stainless pin is a good upgrade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck the heater cables move the flaps fully open and closed before you finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBefore You Order\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLook at your tunnel. If your car has a round rotary knob between the front seats that you twist to get heat, this is the right part. If it has one or two small pull levers with red tips, your car is a 1965 or later model and needs a lever knob instead. Also check the knob color: early cars came with black, grey or ivory knobs depending on the year and trim, so match the color to your interior if originality matters to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it fit my 1962 Beetle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, it fits the rotary tunnel heater control on 1953–1964 Beetles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it fit my 1967 Beetle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. From 1965 Beetles use heater levers instead of a rotary knob.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it fit a Split Window Bus?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, EMPI lists it for 1952–1967 Buses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this the same as OE 113 711 623 A?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt matches the black knob sold under 113 711 623 A, but EMPI's listing does not give a clean OE number, so treat that as a cross-reference to confirm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it come with the pin?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Reuse the old pin or buy a new one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it new?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, a new JP Group part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eExplore Related Categories\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/interior\"\u003eInterior \u0026amp; Pedals\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vw-beetle\"\u003eVW Beetle Parts\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vw-bus\"\u003eVW Bus Parts\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vw-karmann-ghia\"\u003eVW Karmann Ghia Parts\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003e\u003cb\u003eCalifornia Prop 65 Warning:\u003c\/b\u003e This product can expose you to chemicals including lead and\/or lead compounds, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
