VW Rear Quarter Bumper Mount & Seal Area (Right Side) – 111-809-636B

The 111-809-636B is the matching passenger-side companion to the 635B extended repair panel. This structural weld-in section is designed for the rear right corner of the classic Beetle, providing a complete solution for the most common rust zone in the engine compartment. Beyond just the bumper bracket foundation, this "B" version includes the vertical sheet metal up to the engine compartment to lid seal area.

In air-cooled Volkswagens, this seal channel is vital for engine cooling; if it is rusted or missing, hot air from the exhaust will recirculate into the engine bay, leading to overheating. This panel is precision-stamped from heavy-gauge steel and comes with the threaded captive nuts for the bumper brackets already welded in place. Replacing the entire corner with this larger panel ensures a much cleaner, more structural repair than attempting to weld multiple small patches into a high-vibration area.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

Bumper Test-Fit: Temporarily mount your bumper bracket and bumper before the final weld. This confirms the mount is at the correct angle so the bumper doesn't sit "twisted" or uneven.
Remove Transport Coating: This panel often ships with a black rust-inhibitor. You must sand this off at all weld sites to ensure clean, strong penetration and to prevent weld contamination.
Internal Protection: Once welded, apply a high-quality seam sealer to the engine-side joints and an undercoating to the wheel-well side to prevent road spray from attacking the new metal.
