Title: 61 Beetle Rear Apron
Post by: Bullyboy on August 09, 2006, 05:45:03 PM
Can the late 65-66 replacement panel work on the earlier cars?
The catch area needs to be modified right? What is the quality like on the replacements?
The original I have is torn and bent.

Thanks Mark

yes they work but the new ones are driver quallity not for show . But it you buy a new replacement take the seal retainer off the used one you have (if it is still holding its shape) and replace it with the jobber one that come on the new panel. And then it will be show Quallity.

But thats my opinon. Others may differ
