You are in the right spot. He will appear.

Or you can just PM him.

"Roof Racks On SquareBacks"

Sounds like the late Dr. Seuss dug the Dubs, eh?

Bought my rack from user Sub90 here on the Samba. Got a 3/4 rack on my SB.

Here's my 68 Square in 1975.
Does anyone know what brand the rack is?
I'd like to find one.

Great photos!

It looks like the rack I used to have for my '63 Squareback:

I don't know the maker or the source.
I found it on this site a long time ago and later sold it at a S. CA show to a guy visiting from Germany. He shipped it back there as far as I know.

This is the only one I have ever seen.
Who knows, could even have been the same one...

Ok old post from the past, but when I went to www.pedroracks.com, it brought me to a diet pill ad page!!! I have one of the original VW that fastens to the roof, but after spending all I did on paint and stuff, I don't really want to drill holes in the roof. That style screws to the roof.... Idea's??

Yeah, Pedro got out of the rack business.
Your best bet is to either keep an eye out in the classifieds, or look into building your own.

I do have a US market rack I just don't wanna put holes in my roof. Just spent over $5k on body/paint. Wonder if it can be glued on effectively? I only want it for show and maybe a cooler or something.
