Product Description

The AVS 12505 Ventshade is a precision-fit stainless steel window deflector engineered specifically for the 1965-1978 Volkswagen Beetle (Type 1). Using AVS's classic ledge-profile design, it mounts directly into the front door window channel, allowing you to keep windows cracked for fresh air circulation while blocking rain, wind noise, and moisture from entering the cabin - a practical upgrade for any weather condition.

Built from polished stainless steel, these deflectors are UV-resistant, car-wash safe, and designed to last for decades. Installation is straightforward using the included screw-in hardware - no body drilling required. The result is a clean, factory-style finish that complements the classic lines of any Type 1 Beetle restoration or driver build perfectly.
