Mince, you do not want to know, believe me.
Do not forget that Dolf in one of the TOP Panel Beaters/Body Repair Shops in Port Elizabeth.
Now do you see why I said that.??
What can I say, I am a sucker for punishment.
Still want to know though

Dolf,
Thanks for the Pics, now I know how they get to spray the area behind the rear window vent.
Was there any reason why you took out the piece from the back seat side as opposed to the bottom plate in the engine bay.

Hi Dolf,
You have now increased the value of all VW Beetles by 1000 %.
Well done, as always, nothing but the best.........
