914Rubber Engine Deck Lid Seal for Porsche 914 (All Years)
Seal your Porsche 914’s engine compartment with the 914Rubber Engine Deck Lid Seal (part number 914.512.319.10), designed for all 914 models from 1970-76. This reproduction rubber seal runs along the engine deck lid’s perimeter, preventing water, debris, and exhaust fumes from entering while ensuring proper airflow to the mid-mounted engine. One seal is required per car, compatible with 1.7L, 1.8L, 2.0L, and 914/6 models.
PMB Performance, with over 20 years of Porsche 914 expertise, has partnered with 914Rubber for nearly two decades, selling more 914Rubber SKUs than any other retailer. Crafted from high-quality, UV-resistant rubber, this seal withstands engine bay heat up to 180°F, moisture, and road debris, unlike factory seals that harden or shrink, compromising the fit. Its 1,200mm length and molded profile, as noted on 914rubber.com, ensure a snug fit along the deck lid channel, maintaining the 914’s 1,980-lb chassis integrity.
A degraded seal can allow water to seep into the engine bay, risking corrosion or damage to components like the alternator or fuel lines, and may disrupt cooling efficiency for the Type 4 engine. Installation is straightforward with weatherstrip adhesive, requiring careful alignment to avoid stretching, as advised in 914Rubber’s tribal knowledge wiki. For a complete refresh, pair with the 914.504.105.10 welting and 914.559.253.10 buffers to eliminate rattles and enhance sealing.
