| I've never seen manufactured ones for a beetle, only custom. |

Fix the leaks where the water is getting in and you won't need them!
They are pretty simple to make. Not rocket science. If it's strictly cosmetic you can choose your own wood and stain to match the rest of your project appearance.
Wood, stain, clear poly, a hand saw, a tape measure, a box of fasteners, and maybe some glue is all it takes.
Get creative with your selections of stains, wood and fasteners and you could make something really nice looking, but you aren't going to find anything commercially available sine you are probably the only person on the planet that is wanting to buy a set. |

| Duckboards are made for VW Things. http://www.thethingshop.com/WOODEN-DUCKBOARD-SET-FRONT-REAR/productinfo/181DB/ It does look like they would be hard to make. |

I get a kick out of the description, "special" sealant and adhesive... more like marine varnish and good ol' Elmer's wood glue. |

google image duckboards for a kubelwagen & you'll find the drawing & dimensions for making some yourself. I made mine that way.
