Where o where can I buy SuperBeetle vents
It is a 3/71 'S' superbeetle
The hard bit is we need these internal vents for the new beetle we bought. Apparently later superbug ones are different. Where can we get? I have
tried forum sponsors and they say it is a one year only part.
Has anyone fitted later superbug ones?

I think beerdoc went through this on the rebuild for his daughter??
Do a scan through members rides. (or i will)
Pretty sure i commented on this in his ride - cause i didnt think you could get them and it was original. He said you could get them

The problem is it is all one piece.
So this is where I need to find out if the two piece ones will cover the same hole? If not, I need the originals!

Dont know if they still stock them but some years ago i got fibreglass ones from Volksbahn in Pendle Hill in western Sydney. They arent available new
anymore. Another bloke in New Zealand makes them and he is advertising in Ultra Vw of a couple of months ago.

So there are none in Australia anyone knows of in Fibreglass?
Has anyone got a copy of Ultra VW with this NZ guys number in it?
I knew I was not crazy! I always do a fair bit of homework before I ask for help, but this one got me stumped.

if you have got time on your side try a search thru the samba i know i found them somewhere listed about 6 months ago but by that stage after a 3 year
search i gave up and redid the roof liner and just omitted them completly and unless you are a 71 super aficonado you would never know,they were only
on south african and aus models for 10 months.

The guy in New Zealand's email address is genevieve.r@xtra.co.nz or phone +64 34 533332
They are the ones that Volksbahn used to sell. I had a hell of a time getting them in. The next car i did the hoodliner and like the others say i
covered over them.

yeah they were one year only and dont interchange with the later type vents
they have not been reproduced.
You should cover the holes with the headliner trim then the problem will go away.

I cant cover them with the headliner as it stops where the vent starts!
There are four slot holes under the vents!
The original headliner is still in the car and has not one mark, scratch, tear, anything. Fleur didn't even realise there are different sections of
the headlining with dots painted on and holes punched in

No way this car is far too neat and original. like a one owner grandma car.
All we want to do is lower it 4 inches, BRM's, 1916, twin carbs, 10 speaker stereo etc...
But the headlining must stay original
