VW Beetle | Rear wheel arch plate, left, inner fender

This left wheel arch plate is located behind the rear wheel, on the inside of the fender. It is a thin-walled piece that corrodes very quickly, especially if your car is often exposed to wet conditions. A rotten plate causes leakage and uncontrolled rust that spreads to the entire rear. Combine this with the right variant and your rear will be watertight again.
