Both of the coat hooks/seat belt hangers have broken off. These are the white plastic single screw type. Does anyone have a set to sell or know of anywhere I could purchase them?

Thanks

I'm not a home at moment to take a picture but the hooks in my car have only one screw attaching them to the car. Hard to describe but just a flat piece of plastic with a round hook jutting out a a 90 degree angle.

These dual-purpose brackets off-white colored plastic hooks can have a coat/sweater hung on them (the upper curved hook) and also are where (at least on 1970-71 and maybe more years) you can hang the three-point seat belt attach/release "buckle from (the lower part of the same hook).

I just got repro replacements from House of Ghia (very nice quality) and installed them in about two minutes and I can now finally hang my seat belts up to the ceiling hook properly as designed!

Interestingly, my euro 71 Beetle vert also came with the these hooks. I was surprised to not find it listed in the parts manual and I know the us bug verts did not have these. I sourced a pair from KGPR. It they snapped pretty easily.

IIRC, these were mounted with 2 screws on either side of the upper hook or thereabouts.
