No. The template is for the opening. And the markers are there to help locate it correctly...

Thanks. I enlarged your drawing to full size and smoothed out the curves. I have transferred that shape to thin plywood and I now have great reference to start my work. Thank you very much for your help with this!

If you are going to all the trouble of making tooling to press new parts, why not make them truly accurate. I suspect the VW community might appreciate a source for restoration/modification parts (that aren't fiberglass). With that in mind you might find someone willing to lend you a section to develop your tooling. Even if you had to buy a original section I'm sure you could sell a few copies to recoup your costs.

I know your are doing this for the fun and experience, but its just as much fun to make it right as make it just look right.

Just a thought.
