Washburn Windows | VW Beetle Standard & Super Engine Bay Access Plates 7.5x6.5" | Single-Carb (BY02)

VW Beetle Engine Bay Access Plates (7.5" x 6.5") | Laser-Cut Standard Washburn Windows

The standard-size Washburn Windows are rear wheel-well access plates (7.5" x 6.5") that let you reach the engine bay through the wheel-well sides — so changing plugs and tuning carbs no longer means fighting a cramped bay. It's the easier-access upgrade for a stock single-carb Bug.
