You may want to clean out the other side, too. It's probably got a lot of stuff 
in it, too. It's better than waiting for the driver's side to fill up with 
water.  ;-)

These might even still be available from the dealer, because they were used on 
beetles, too; maybe even on rabbits. Early ones were silver, late ones are 
black and are probably the only ones available now. The seals are all alike.

They are commonly cracked, etc, but they usually don't let in much water just 
because they sit on a flat surface. I think your airbox was probably the main 
problem. You may have to keep an eye on them. If they are very dirty they often 
clog up again after loose dirt rearranges itself to the bottom of the airbox.
