I cant seem to find a hood liner replacement for my '54. 56 is the earliest. These things look pretty simple, mine is a wreck, parts missing a parts stapled back.

Does anyone know if they are sold anywhere, or if later years can be cut down to size, or a good material to make one, or actual dimensions of the original?

Thanks in advance

JT

This looks like a nice Trunk Liner for 1952 - 1957 Beetles.

I made one from a roll of rubber at a local supplier. It has a pebbled surface and the cost is minimal! It looks good and it was easy to make.
