I did my own. Not that hard. Get lots of butterfly clips. Google it.don't use spray on glue.

Hi Alansvw
I'm just about to start my hood. just trial fitting at the moment. Not sure if its going to be easy, but possible. Have a look at the Samba link
attached below, step by step instructions for the headliner, padding and top hood.

Bit different to a Coupe and I would guess harder to fit. I don't want to try fitting it myself, there's do much other stuff I can be working on
that I know I can do. Just need to find an motor trimmer willing to travel to St Ives.

Great News... the Karmann Ghia is a Cabriolet which means it has a padded roof inside.... unlike a convertible which only had the outer skin... of
course everything with a roof that comes down is now called a convertible, that is the original difference....
