I bought my bug with a partially complete vinyl roof
It is installed on the car, and works, but the glass window is not installed, and it is missing the padding, the inner roof lining and probably some other bits.
Is there anyone out there that can make it all good again? It upsets me seeing the roof up
And I am missing the Karmann Badge from the front bottom fender, that bugs me too!

I would assume things would be different where the roof joins the top of the windshield frame. Might be wrong about that too.

I looked on J-bugs website and it showed 68-72 regular and super beetles use the same vinyl top , before 68 and after 72 show different part numbers  |

That makes sense. The 1973 model year and onwards Super Beetles had a curved windshield, whereas the screen on the 1302 model was flat, the same as a standard.

thanks, gentlemen, yes, the curved screen, good info could have saved me lots of grief
my superbeetle has a new hood on, but i have non of the padding or other material, simply single skin vinyl roof, i need the padding and lining adding, and the glass rear window putting in.....any recommendations?
had an air cooled love in on xmas day where i took the 912 for a ride in the quiet, crisp air...loved it
