The OE MATCH Black Rosette for Window Winder and Door Handle is an original-style replacement interior trim component designed for Porsche 356 Pre-A models manufactured between 1950 and 1955.
Fits:
- Porsche 356 Pre-A
Diagram Ref No 29
This small but important trim piece fits behind the interior window winder or door handle, creating a neat, finished appearance around the handle mounting point while helping protect the surrounding door panel from wear.
The Porsche 356 Pre-A is renowned for its classic interior design, where even the smallest trim details contribute to the vehicle's distinctive appearance.
Components such as window winder rosettes and interior door handle surrounds help complete the original door trim arrangement, maintaining the clean, carefully finished appearance associated with these early Porsche models.
Over time, the original rosettes can become cracked, scratched, faded, brittle or damaged through repeated handle operation and exposure to sunlight.
They may also become loose or go missing during previous repairs, door panel removal or restoration work.
A damaged or missing rosette can leave the handle mounting area looking unfinished and may allow the handle assembly to rub against the surrounding door trim.
The OE MATCH replacement rosette provides a practical solution for restoring the original appearance of the door panel.
Finished in black and designed to correspond with original Porsche reference 35653711, this component is suitable for replacing a worn or missing rosette on compatible Porsche 356 Pre-A vehicles.
Its discreet appearance makes it particularly useful for classic Porsche restorations where maintaining the correct period-style interior details is important.
The rosette can be installed behind the corresponding manual window crank or interior door handle, depending on the original door trim arrangement.
It is supplied individually, allowing owners to replace only the damaged component or purchase additional pieces when refurbishing multiple handles.
Whether carrying out a complete Porsche 356 Pre-A interior restoration or simply replacing a worn trim surround, this OE MATCH rosette helps restore a clean, original-style finish.
