Replacement Rear Apron for 1949-1966 VW Beetle

Threaded decklid lock mount area for 1965-1966 applications
Black anti-rust coating (must be removed before primer and paint)
Requires welding for proper fitment

This replacement rear apron is specifically designed for the 1965-1966 VW Beetle body. Due to the earlier aprons being out of production, this apron can also be used on earlier vehicles from 1949 through 1964 with some modifications. The decklid lock mount area is threaded for installation on 1965-1966 applications. When used with pre-1964 Beetles, the welded decklid latch will need to be removed from the original apron and welded to the new apron. Light modification is required to the decklid lock area on 1964 and earlier applications. The apron must be welded in place to ensure proper fitment and comes with a black anti-rust coating that should be removed prior to applying primer and paint.

Product Fitment

1965-1966 VW Beetle (direct fit)
1949-1964 VW Beetle (with some modification)

Notes on Sheet Metal:

Virtually all sheet metal parts are sent with a black, sprayed-on, rust inhibitor. This is NOT a paint or a primer. The black paint that comes on most sheet metal items must be removed before applying primer to the sheet metal.
Expect scratches, minor dents, dings, and imperfections. These are considered normal. You will likely have to perform minor body work on any aftermarket sheet metal during the installation and restoration process. This is a universal issue across the entire classic car industry due to the nature of the product.
Large dents would be considered excessive damage. All sheet metal is carefully inspected prior to shipping for any major dents. Any sheet metal that is received dented must be presented to the shipping carrier for a damage claim, regardless of the condition of the box.
Test fit the all sheet metal before painting. Once body work or paint work has been done to any sheet metal item, it can't be returned! There are no exceptions!

Test fit the apron before painting!
Previous accidents and body work can cause poor fitment of new sheet metal items. It is very important to test fit the apron before painting it. This will allow any necessary body work to either the body or the apron to be done BEFORE it is painted.
