Alas, that's the price per each. If it was for a set of 4 it would be
quite reasonable.

Later Beetles came with those parts, too, but I think the biggest
problem is with the Type 3 & 4 fan housings, where water is more

There's nowhere in a Beetle fan housing for water to accumulate.

seals fit properly.
