I'm getting ready to put a new headliner in my '70 beetle, which will require removing all the glass. This video is VERY helpful to understand what I'm facing when everything has to go back together. Thank you!
So great vid, did not know they where crash clips. I did my windsheild 10 months ago and covered the clips and it slowly has pulled off on the top dead center to the point of leaking, this is the best vid on the tube explaining this, thanku very much. Appears you left some on the bottom which I think would be fine. When they put new headliners in no one has been installing the clips either.
I think I just left the original headliner clips in, but not the big clip strips to hold in the windshield in case of an accident. The BIG bummer is, I took a trip last weekend and on the way a rock came up from a pickup and took out the windshield! big ol bullseye and cracks :(
Definitely a job for 2 people , I always use para cord as not and strong but boy it’s satisfying once done , good job sir !! Not seen those crash windscreen clips in any bug in the U.K. tho
Thanks! Yeah, it is a 2 person job. I think the clips started in 71 but not for sure. US regs for keeping the windshield in during a crash. The new rubber does not have the grove for them so out they came :)
Hey there. Mine is a 71. The 74 with a flat windshield is a standard Beetle. The curved windshield was a super Beetle. In 74 there was a Love Bug Edition with black chrome and bumpers. www.sebeetles.com/lovebug/
@@Misunderstoodboygenius Thanks. I assume that all were super beetles after 71'. I'll be bringing lucille home in two weeks. I was able to start the engine for a second or two, but it's been garaged for 12 years. What is a good website you recommend for parts?
@@vladimircastillo813 they imported standard in the US through 77 I believe. 71 and 72 super and standard have a flat windshield. 73 on the super had a curved windshield. The last Beetles officially imported to the US were all convertibles.
