I have been trying for a pair of these for a while, just putting the feelers out again. I don't want to get rid of them, the head liner is 100% original and complete.

Pic attached

Are now i see LOL

good luck mate those are a one year only item as they changed to the 3 vents in the 72s. they are like trying to find a new centre vent for the dash. im still looking not very hard though

Hi, a few years back now, but i got a set for my bug, repro from Volksbahn in NSW. They were getting some good ones made from fibreglass, fitted well to.

yep one year only and i think there only Aussie as well so no one makes repros


I deleted those vents in my 76 by running the roof trim over them to hide the holes didnt look out of place at all

good luck x2

noone reproduces them
but theres a guy on samba talking about making repoops in fibreglass if theres enough interest

Australia, one year only! Sounds very uncommon. I want them now more than ever. The original headlining is fine and does not need to be touched. I have a new German rear window rubber to put in, and am holding off until I put the new vents in, as it will be a simple process to replace them then.

I am very interested in repro's.

nah wasnt aus only it was world wide
well excluding the backwards countries like braz and mex still using 6 volt bodies but they were 71 only

looks abit crap without them cos the body is painted mission brown for some reason
in my first 71 super i just covered it with headliner same as original 72 on and used the matching vents
cept they use 4 a side instead of the original 3

just for ppls FYI these arent actually defroster vents there extractor vents they actually suck air in and blow it out of the cabin thro those bannana shaped vents on the side
it was vws new flow thro ventilation system allegedly anyway
looks to me more like it works the other way round but go figure

Thanks Joel,

I have contacted the Samba project and hope for the best.

Hey Peter,
james has posted up on samba today
prototypes are finished just need final white colour coating

I want, I want, I want. I need them so badly.

Anyone else here in Australia want to go in for a group buy to save on postage? I am in Melbourne. Even if one person is interested locally it would be beneficial to both of us.

I am ordering a pair in two days. Any one else?

The price for a pair is $120 Canadian Dollars by Paypal

Postage is $30 Cnd on top

The postage can be split if anyone else is after a pair.

1.00 AUD = 0.875571 CAD

$120 = $137.05

I have got my new vents, and the quality is great. I will paint them and fit them and post the result.
They were not cheap, but it is not a cheap looking product.
There are people that can cigarette smoke that amount of money in a couple of weeks. Not me.

veery interested in pics, my super had those, they didnt fall apart when removed either, they are slightly warped/buckled though, would be nice to have a good replacemen option

Post some pics, as I wouldn't mind getting a set if they fit well.
