A small part that can easily be forgotten, this plastic cap must be pressed on the outside of the door hinge and ensures that no water can enter the hinge, which would make the door hinges difficult to close.
For the VW Beetle, Karmann Ghia and Type 3, this concept is applied to the front and rear. For the VW Bus, it is applied to the front and rear of the chassis.
This cap also keeps the oil in place, the door hinge must be lubricated with normal engine oil at each maintenance (see 'Options' tab).
