EMPI Right Rear Fender (Passenger Side) | VW Beetle 1946–1967 | Wide Pre-'68 Profile (98-8775-B)

VW Beetle Right Rear Fender | Passenger Side, Wide Pre-'68 Profile (98-8775-B)

Rusted through at the bottom, or carrying a rear-corner ding that's long past filler? This is the passenger-side (right) rear fender for the early Beetle, stamped to the wide pre-1968 profile so the beading, body line, and bolt holes line up with a 1946–1967 sedan or convertible instead of fighting you the whole way. It's a straight replacement panel — unbolt the old one, bolt this on, then prep and paint.

Vehicle Fitment

Confirmed fit: VW Type 1 Beetle, right rear.

• Standard Beetle Sedan: 1946–1967
• Beetle Convertible: 1949–1967

Not this part: 1968-and-later Beetles switched to a taller, narrower rear fender with a different bolt pattern — this pre-'68 panel won't fit those. This is the right (passenger) side; the driver-side twin is EMPI 98-8776-B.
