I wanted to replace the trunk liner and wire cover on my 1964 Beetle and from the searches I have conducted all recommend Wolfsburg West. Problem is they are out of stock and have no idea when they will be getting more. That being said, are there any other suppliers that have similar quality liners that anyone has experience with? I would love to get a nice clean new one in there as the old one is torn to pieces.

West Coast Metric shows liner as 111-509C in their catalog for $36.95. Cover (plastic) 113-515C for $15.70. Can't say if they have them in stock though.

As for the wiring cover, the standard black plastic replacement will do the job but looks cheap and nasty to me. If you want to consider something a bit more robust, consider fibreglass. I got one from http://www.swfabrication.com/, trading as mts678 in the Classifieds here. It's a nice piece. Some final shaping required to make it fit my '65 but nothing extreme. Looks well. No affiliation, just a happy customer.

Cool. Thanks for the info. Nice call for the wire cover. Mine is shot. I ordered a fiberglass one. Seems like it will be pretty durable.
