Ragtop Clip Install
Does anyone out there have June 1998 issue of VW Trens which had the detailed instructions on installing an original ragtop roofclip???

From what I understand it is easiest to drill out the spot welds around the frame and seperate it from the original roof, then re-weld the frame onto the bottom of your og roof. The interesting part comes when you go to add the "lip" at the front. I guess you can open up the hole in your roof to make the lip flush with your og roof, but then you will still have some crevaces to fill. I haven't done it yet myself, but i have done a fair bit of investigating on the subject.

I followed the VW Trends article but can't find the issue unfortunately - here is a link though which details how I did the ragtop installation into my 63 beetle.

Hey thanks guys for the info.
The pictures and the link was a real help!! I am sure I will be getting back to you for some more advise once I take this job on. Thanks again |

Oh mY Gawd!
I really want to do this to my car. Did you use and old clip?
What is your opinion on the webasto set up? |
No probs dirie1.
Uber Affe - I used a golde clip cut from a donor beetle that was beyond repair. I'm sorry I have no experience with the webasto ragtops so can't comment on their quality. |
dirie1,
I may have that back issue in my collection. I'll check this weekend and let you know. If I have it, I will pdf the article for you. Cheers, Doug |
Hey Doug
That would also be a real help if you are able to muster that up for me. All the best Creig |
