You are correct. Last time I took apart a rear hatch that was around the
lock! This one looks brand new and I don't know where it came from!

Thanks.

On 84 (or so) Vanagons, this is the gasket packing seal for the Rear Hatch
Push Button Assembly to the Hatch metal.

Open ETKA, Go to your year of Vanagon, Illustration 99-00, Rear Panel Flap
(& Parts)

Has nothing to do with any cooling system items I know of.

Ha! Not useful as a visual inspection will tell you it's a seal.

Does anyone have EKTA that gives more info and a diagram to diagnosis this
MIA part, or does it give a cryptic answer too?

My only guess is it may have to do with some cooling pipe I bought, but it
doesn't appear from looking at the pipe.
