This rubber ensures that the end of the part in question is reached smoothly.
This rubber has been used for various applications on the Volkswagen Bus and in many cases it is missing or has become porous, so that it can no longer fulfill its function as a rubber stop.
On the Volkswagen Bay Window Bus and its successor, the VW Vanagon, only one rubber is used for the sliding door stop. On the very luxurious models, a rubber is also used as a stop for the automatic step.
On the Volkswagen Bay Window Bus used as an ambulance, two rubbers were used for the stop of the stretcher rails.
Finally, the same rubber part is used for the VW Vanagon which is equipped with power (servo) brakes on the pedal board. The number of stops may vary depending on the year of manufacture.
