Super Beetle VIN Identification:

Always buy parts based on VIN numbers, do not trust the year written on your cars title. e.g. A beetle made in Germany early 1966 that sat on a US dealership lot till the following year. When sold, the vehicles title would state the car is a '67. Parts purchased for '67 may not fit a 66.

Not sure what your car is? Check the VIN number is located under rear seat on center tunnel Chassis ID Plate. Depending on year may also be either behind the spare tire (pre-69)or in the door jamb and on the dash (post 69-).

Information below is considered "stock original specifications" for VW's destined to the US market. Always double check with your vehicle before ordering parts. We are not responsible for discrepancies.

Please Note: Special Editions

VW did produce special edition models. These models may include the Sun Bug, Levi Edition, Baja Edition, GSR model, The Jubilee Kafer, The Volkswagen Europa Edition 1, Champagne Edition, etc. It is the vehicle owners responsibility to be aware of what model vehicle the upholstery is being ordered for. We apologize, but there are no returns on special order upholstery, including situations where a special edition vehicle is involved.

Upholstery for most models of Special Edition vehicles is not available. Standard Beetle upholstery will not fit!
