Ideal for restoration projects or replacing hardened original rubber, this OE Match bonnet handle seal helps preserve both the appearance and longevity of your Porsche 356.
What Does the Bonnet Handle Seal Do?
The bonnet handle seal is positioned between the bonnet handle assembly and the bonnet panel.
Its primary functions include:
- Preventing water from entering behind the bonnet handle.
- Protecting the bonnet panel from moisture and corrosion.
- Reducing vibration between the handle and bodywork.
- Preventing dirt and debris from collecting around the mounting area.
- Providing a clean, factory-correct finish.
- Helping protect the paintwork from abrasion caused by metal-to-metal contact.
Although small, this seal plays an important role in preserving the bodywork and maintaining the authentic appearance of the vehicle.
Why Does the Bonnet Handle Seal Fail?
Rubber components naturally deteriorate with age and
exposure to the elements. Common causes of failure include:
- UV exposure.
- Heat cycling.
- Ozone damage.
- Hardening and cracking of the rubber.
- Compression over many years.
- Water absorption.
- Damage during handle removal or restoration work.
As the seal deteriorates, water can penetrate behind the handle, increasing the risk of corrosion and paint damage.
When Should the Bonnet Handle Seal Be Replaced?
Replacement is recommended whenever:
- The bonnet handle is removed.
- The original seal has hardened or cracked.
- Water leaks are visible around the handle.
- The bonnet is being repainted.
- During body restoration.
- Completing a concours-quality restoration.
Replacing the seal during restoration helps protect the bonnet panel while ensuring the handle sits correctly against the bodywork.
