I am just trying to attach a new rear apron panel ( as a removable panel) but the track where the engine seal slides into does not match up with the side tracks. Is this how it is supposed to sit or do i have a dud panel? I dont have one to compare to.
Cheers
Dave

prob an after market rear apron you may have to do some bending to align the seal track between the new and old panels depending on whats bent

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

It is an aftermarket panel and came with the beetle I purchased. Maybe I will have to find someone with a beetle and take a closer look.
Thanks
