VW T5 T5.1 T6 T6.1 – Roof front edge protection

Front Windscreen Top Edge Protection Seal – fits all VW Transporter T5, T5 GP (T5.1 / T5.2), T6, T6.1 models including Transporter, Multivan, Caravelle, Shuttle, Kombi and California

The VW Transporter T5 and T6 ranges have a known weak point at the exposed top edge of the front windscreen. From factory, a gap between the glass and the metal body allows stones, debris and moisture to hit the upper frame directly. Over time, this frequently results in paint damage and rust.

On VW California variants, corrosion in this area can spread under the roof structure, making repairs significantly more expensive than on standard Transporter or Multivan models.

This product is a purpose-designed front windscreen top protection seal that eliminates this issue permanently.

Features

• Manufactured from high-grade automotive rubber, UV-resistant and weather-stable

• Raised aerodynamic deflector edge to shield the windscreen top metal lip

• Slim OEM-style profile that integrates with factory design

• Precision fit for VW T5, T5 GP (T5.1 / T5.2), T6, T6.1 platforms

• Compatible with Transporter, Multivan, Shuttle, Caravelle, Kombi and California variants

• Pre-applied automotive adhesive for reliable long-term adhesion

• No drilling or vehicle modification required

Benefits

• Prevents stone chips and impact damage to the windscreen upper frame

• Stops rust from developing in one of the most common VW T5/T6 corrosion points

• Helps avoid costly bodywork repairs — especially on California models where roof section work is involved

• Protects long-term vehicle value by preserving original paint and metal

• Clean, discreet, factory-quality appearance once installed

• Quick DIY installation, no tools required

• Maintenance-free protection after fitting

Product Description

This protective seal covers the exposed section at the top of the front windscreen where the factory leaves a vulnerable gap between glass and bodywork. The raised deflector profile redirects stones and debris so they strike the rubber, not the metal.

The slim design follows the original VW lines closely, giving an OEM look suitable for any Transporter, Multivan or California.

Ideal for owners wanting an effective, permanent prevention solution to a well-known and costly rust problem.
