Protect your shift linkage and ensure smooth gear transitions with this EMPI Rear Tunnel Access Cover. Engineered using modern SolidWorks CAD and 3D modeling, this panel is a highly accurate reproduction of the original factory unit. It serves as the primary shield for your shift coupler, keeping road grime, moisture, and debris out of your tunnel while allowing for easy maintenance access.

Constructed from 1mm thick stamped 1018 steel, this cover is slightly dimpled to increase structural rigidity—preventing the "oil-can" flexing or rattling common with thinner, inferior reproductions. Finished in a durable satin black coating, it offers a clean, factory-correct look for any "nothing to hide" restoration.

Key Features:

  • CAD-Engineered Accuracy: Developed via 3D modeling and test-fitted on multiple chassis to ensure a perfect seal and hole alignment.

  • Rigid Construction: Stamped from 1018 steel with a dimpled design for improved strength and vibration resistance.

  • Protective Barrier: Essential for preventing dirt from contaminating your shift coupler bushings and shift rod.

  • Complete Kit: Comes finished in satin black and includes the necessary mounting screw for a 5-minute installation.

  • OE Quality: Direct replacement for original part number 111-701-555B.

Installation Guide: Step-by-Step

Note: This cover is located at the rear of the center tunnel, typically under the rear seat on Beetles.

  1. Access: Pull up the rear seat bottom and locate the access opening at the very end of the center chassis tunnel.

  2. Clean the Surface: Wipe down the mounting flange around the tunnel opening. Ensure there is no old adhesive or debris that could prevent a flush fit.

  3. Inspect the Coupler: While the cover is off, this is the best time to inspect your Shift Coupler Bushings. If there is excessive play in your shifter, replace the coupler before sealing the tunnel.

  4. Position the Cover: Align the EMPI cover over the opening. The dimpled side should face outward.

  5. Secure: Install the included mounting screw. Do not over-tighten, as you want to maintain a flat seal against the tunnel.

  6. Optional Seal: For a completely weather-tight seal (especially on Buggies or Things), a thin bead of strip caulk or a rubber gasket can be used around the perimeter.

I absolutely love these Pampers Cruisers 360 Size 5 diapers! As a parent of an active toddler, diaper changes used to be such a struggle—but these have made a huge difference. The pull-on style is a game changer. I can quickly put them on even when my child is moving around, and the 360° stretchy waistband fits snugly without being too tight. It really feels like little “training pants,” which is great as we slowly move toward potty training. What impressed me the most is how leak-proof and absorbent they are. Even during long days or naps, they keep my child dry and comfortable. The material is also very soft and gentle on the skin, and we haven’t had any irritation or rashes at all. (They’re actually designed to be gentle and hypoallergenic, which gives extra peace of mind.) I also love the easy tear-away sides and disposal tape—it makes cleanup so quick and mess-free. Overall, these diapers are perfect for active toddlers. Comfortable, reliable, and super convenient—I highly recommend them!

It's worth it.
Size: Size 7, Unit Count: 44, Size: Size 7, Unit Count: 44
I would like to provide feedback regarding a recent diaper experience. My toddler, who has a tendency to remove his diaper, has previously used Parent's Choice products since birth without issue. However, I have recently encountered a problem with both their standard diapers and Pull-Ups, specifically concerning the coverage in the gluteal region. This has led to the diaper riding up and causing a significant rash due to friction. I am pleased to report that after two hours of use, the current diaper has exceeded my expectations. My son has not removed it, and the coverage in the gluteal area is excellent. I will provide an update should any leakage occur. I also appreciate the baby powder scent and the overall quality of the product. While the price point is slightly higher than I typically prefer for diapers, my son is approaching three years old and will soon be transitioning to potty training.

Movement freedom and quick changes: The ideal diaper for active babies
Size: Size 5, Unit Count: 56, Size: Size 5, Unit Count: 56
360° Flexible Fit: The standout feature is the 360° stretchy waistband that adapts perfectly to the baby's body, preventing gaps and allowing full, unrestricted movement. • Easy On and Off: Being a "Pull-On" style, it slides up in a second. For removal, it features the practical "e-z off" tabs on the sides that tear easily for a hygienic and fast change. • Designed for Active Babies: The packaging highlights an All-Around Fit specifically engineered for dynamic little ones who need protection that keeps up with them. If your baby has started moving and diaper changes have become a 'wrestling match' with traditional tabs, Pampers Cruisers 360° are the ultimate solution. They offer the peace of mind of Pampers protection with the convenience of pull-up underwear. A great investment for your child's exploration stage.

Great swaddlers alternative when the Velcro became an issue
Size: Size 3, Unit Count: 136
I bought these because my daughter (12 months) started undoing the Velcro on her diapers, even through her clothes. Finding her soaking wet enough times led me to look for a solution. I really like these and will enjoy them until she finds her way out of them. They’re just as absorbent as Swaddlers and the overnights, and she never gets a rash in them. Only downside is the blowout barrier on the legs is much smaller, so she does have some blowouts out the side. The Swaddlers has more material there to prevent blowouts. These are also cheaper than Swaddlers and overall great quality. Soft and absorbent and I don’t have to worry about her even through a 13 hour sleep at night. That thing will weigh 5lbs when I pull it off her but it doesn’t leak! These are going to be our go to diapers as long as she doesn’t learn to pull them off.

Great fit and very convenient for active babies
Size: Size 4, Unit Count: 64, Size: Size 4, Unit Count: 64
These diapers are a great option, especially for active babies. The 360 design makes them easy to pull on and off, which is really convenient during quick changes. They fit well without feeling too tight and provide good coverage. Absorbency is solid, keeping things dry for a good amount of time. The material feels soft and comfortable on the skin. I also like how easy they are to dispose of after use. Overall, a reliable and convenient choice for everyday use.
