HOW TO: Replace the rear badge on a New Beetle

BenettonVW · 2005-10-16T11:14:08+00:00

I replaced my rear badge today on the New Beetle, thanks to a handy webpage at NewBeetle.org.. http://newbeetle.org/vb3/showthread.php?p=942 Here's my pics of the process, but if you click on the link, he will tell you exactly how it is done step by step. Firstly remove the screws out of the handle sections on the inside of your boot, pop the clips apart, working from the latch area around each side to the window section, and then push it towards the front of the car to finally remove it. This will show you the inner workings of the mechanism and electricals.

Jim,
Check with your insurance company BEFORE you purchase wheels... i assumed that it was 2 inches taller and one inch wider... but RACV told me no.... cannot go ANY bigger in height or width if we want to remain insured with them!!! so it would have to stay 16x7.5. pfffft!! yeah right... so we are gonna go with shannons (already rang them to discuss wheel sizes etc) when we get the wheels. 7.5 wide with the standard offset will leave clearance on the front shocks... we were told by carshine that he has put 9inch wide on beetles but they have a different offset to allow the width.... DONT wanna go that wide so never followed it up.

see.... air and water do mix 😉
