1966 Rear Fenders
Hello all, I heard that if I'm searching for an original German rear fender to perfectly fit my 1966...I could expand my search to 1962, 1963, 1964 and 1965 because the fenders from 1962 to 1966 are interchangeable...is that correct? Are they truly identical in shape and have the correct holes for 1...

Re: Original '66 headliner
Yeah, that rear window area seems a really challenging spot for upholstery and headliners...the combination of hot sun during the day and various moisture issues ruined many interiors...only garage kept vehicles kept throughout the years...I attached a picture of the original printed pattern for ref...

Re: Original '66 headliner
HI John, Thanks for checking in! I went into a deep dive on the Samba website and it turns out that original headliners had a printed vinyl in that area. Unfortunately Wolfsburg West and TMI didn't follow originality in this specific case. It's too small of a detail for them to bother, and I underst...

The area under the rear window i...

Re: Seat adjuster lever
Where are you located? Are you in California? There are several VW scrap yards scattered on the West Coast and East Coast but your location would help to narrow down what would work for you...
