  1. Classic VW Beetle / Bug Forum
    Just acquired my MIL's 73 super beetle and the convertible mechanism needs to be refurbished. They just put on a new top not that long ago so I'm wondering if the top fabric/liner can be removed and reused without damaging it so that I can refurb the mecahnism
  2. Golf MK7 / 2015 and up
    Our 2016 Golf recently had a leak around the sun roof which caused some staining of the fabric on the ceiling. Fortunately, it was fixed under warranty. The service manager told us that the water drains for the sun roof are small and need to be cleaned out periodically. He suggested that we pay...
  3. VW Rabbit MKV Forum 2006/2007/2008/2009
    Anyone ever do the headliner in a 2007? I have a hand me down with just 30,000 miles on it but it sat outside in VA heat and most of the fabric is pretty sagging. It looks like a nasty bit of work as a DIY and it also looks like $$$$ to have it done professionally. Any thoughts? Thanks

    Howdy folks! I just acquired an 81 Caddy with a droopy headliner. I removed it and scrapped the foam from the cardboard and vinyl. I thought I could just contact cement it back to the cardboard but found it had shrunk over the years of being free from the cardboard. I looked at a couple of...

  6. Jetta Owners Club
    I am not sure if I am allowed to post this but I'll try. I am on my 3rd Jetta (2016 GLI) and have owned a custom made car cover for years but it no longer fits the new model and I am trying to sell it for not very much. I don't know the name of the fabric but it is from Griot's garage. As you...

  10. MK1 Rabbit Body
    If your top is giving you wind noise when it is closed at speed, there is a fix. The issue is that if your top's leading edge isn't laying flat to the "A" pillar seal then you can get wind between the seal and the frame that will vibrate the top, you also can get water in a rain storm as Driven...

    I have a 2007 Rabbit with 168K miles and driver seat heater burned a hole right through fabric seat and my shirt. I searched around and saw it was a problem for earlier models with a recall. Is there anything that VW will do for this model? I'm obviously leaving it off for now but afraid of a...

    im looking to redo the front seats this winter. The fabric is worn thru to the side bar which is exposed. And this is truly a pain in the side of the butt. The fabric is the gray pattern with black leather side pattern. The leather...or vinyl.... is ok but the cloth needs to be replaced. Is...

    An open pickup bed costs you money and detracts from the appearance of an otherwise great looking truck. Cargo can become moisture damaged or corrode and rust if exposed to rain and snow, especially if water stays in the bed. Items not secured can be blown around or completely out of the bed on...

    My 2008 VW Rabbit has a sagging fabric just behind the engine. I think it is a barrier for heat/noise between the engine and the inside of the car. Does anyone know the best way to fix it? Tape, brackets, glue, etc.? Thank you for your help!
  18. GTI MK6 / 2009-2014
    I got on here only to bitch about this car so here it goes. Ok. I finally was able to afford a GTI, that I so badly wanted for many years, in 2011, I bought a used 2010 with 35K miles. No problems for 3 years. But, 6 months ago, now at only a measly 60,000 miles, I have the 'transmission'...
