I think I know what your problem MAY be :)

You're looking for 'info', but, um, what's the question?

:)

Just post it, I'm sure someone here has run into it before or can look it up somewhere.

And be glad Ghia sites are 'boring' I don't want to be seeing Baja/pink/fiberglassed Ghias like I see abortioned Ovals :)

What year Ghia?  (57??!!)  :)

Im much better now.  New rule - Dont work on car and get angry and then sit on computer and vent.
My questions are on details of the ghia, such as covertable tops, Relay breakdowns and general info.
It is just that the ghia sites are listed in such a way that if it is broke take it to this shop, or do that .................once you buy this! type stuff!
But i have overcome and worked it all out!!
Thanks to Geoff answering his phone every thirty seconds while i thought of one more question!
Cheers! B)

www.type-14.com has what you're looking for. The \"Body\" page includes a .pdf of the original factory instructions on how to re and re a Karmann Ghia cabriolet top and assembly. The \"Parts List\" shows every single separatable part of the assembly in exploded diagrams. With a little more information, I can walk you through how to fix any issue you may have with your electrical system.

Hey Steveo,

Have you tried the Shop Talk Forums?

http://www.shoptalkforums.com/viewforum.php?f=13

This is a KG forum with some knowledgable people.
However, if you're looking for instant answers, then you should just throw your computer out the window...  :lol:
