Often overlooked during restoration, the rubber flap contributes to both the appearance and protection of the front scuttle area by helping to reduce the ingress of water, dirt and debris into the wiper mechanism and luggage compartment.

Manufactured from high-quality, weather-resistant rubber, this OE Match replacement provides the correct profile, flexibility and fit required for authentic Porsche 356 restoration projects.

What Does the Wiper Arm Rubber Flap Do?

The front wiper arm rubber flap performs several important functions within the windscreen wiper assembly.

Its primary roles include:

• Providing a protective seal around the windscreen wiper spindle.
• Helping prevent water entering the front luggage compartment and wiper mechanism.
• Reducing the ingress of dirt, dust and road debris.
• Protecting the bodywork around the wiper mounting point.
• Providing a neat, factory-correct finish around the wiper arm.

Although a small component, it plays an important role in preserving both the appearance and integrity of the front bodywork.

Why Does the Wiper Arm Rubber Flap Fail?

Rubber components naturally deteriorate over time due to constant exposure to the elements.

Common causes of failure include:

• UV exposure causing the rubber to harden and crack.
• Age-related perishing.
• Damage during wiper arm removal or replacement.
• Shrinkage reducing the sealing effectiveness.
• Continuous exposure to rain, heat and road contaminants.
• Loss of elasticity after many years of service.

As the rubber deteriorates, it can no longer provide an effective seal, allowing moisture and debris to reach areas that should remain protected.

When Should It Be Replaced?

Replacement is recommended when:

• The rubber has become cracked or split.
• The flap has hardened or lost its flexibility.
• Water is entering around the wiper spindle.
• The original flap is missing.
• Replacing or refurbishing the windscreen wiper system.
• Completing a concours or factory-correct Porsche 356 restoration.

Replacing worn rubber seals during restoration helps maintain the originality of the vehicle while protecting surrounding components from moisture damage.
