Design Engineering DEI 10046 VW Beetle Firewall Heat Barrier Kit

The Design Engineering DEI 10046 Firewall Heat Barrier Kit is a direct-replacement heat and sound insulation solution engineered specifically for the 1950–1972 Standard VW Beetle and the 1971–1972 Super Beetle. Designed to replace the heavy, fragile factory-style tar boards, this kit significantly reduces heat intrusion from the rear engine compartment into the cabin.

The precision CNC-cut pieces feature a high-temperature black polymer and resin powder-coated textured aluminum skin with glass fiber matting for complete protection. They fit easily in place of the factory tar boards with a self-adhesive backing.

Key Features:

• Multi-piece kit with CNC-cut pieces made from 10-mil dimpled aluminum with a 1/8 in. insulation layer and a high-temperature matte black textured finish
• Constructed from the same material as DEI's Black Floor and Tunnel Shield
• Keeps engine and exhaust heat from entering the cabin and reduces engine and road noise
• Each piece has been custom cut for a direct fit and installs the same as the factory tar boards
• Fits 1950–1972 Standard Beetle and 1971–1972 Super Beetle models

The kit works well with DEI's pre-cut VW Beetle Floor Insulation Kit (#51420), which further reduces road noise for a quieter ride.
