Dash Pad for 76 Beetle
cam070 - July 17th, 2010 at 12:41 AM
Can anyone tell me if it is still possible to source a new padded dash pad for a 76 standard beetle? And if so where I can get one.....for a RHD car
of course.
Cheers

I had my 74 recovered looks as good as new, I think it was about $300.00. mine was pretty crap but they filled the holes in the padding and recovered
it with the same grain vynyl. looks top

many were discarded as they liked the painted dash.... lol
and getting a RHD NOS one would be VERY difficult...
would be easier to make Your car LHD..lol

PS: I padded two dashes on My 59 & 62 beetles in the late 60s just using normal good quality vinyl..
One was black, the other was white....
Maybe I should do that again....
hardest parts were the corners on the glovebox...
but You can stretch the vinyl etc with heat....

PPS: I don't have any pics of them... lol

These are now available new for RHD - though it may take a little time yet for these to filter through to shops here. Price should be good too.

I don't believe that of any shops would have stock of these yet, but I do know that production has started by at least one company recently, which is
good news for those of us with cracked dash pads.
