Last sunroof question, I swear.
https://www.vwispwest.com/363877259.html
Other than trying to find that, has anyone ever made something out of cardboard to do the same thing? |

Not that I'm aware of. While it might be possible, it's got to be both thin and stiff to keep it from sagging, and go into the roof.

Yeah, you can run without it, but you'll have to remove the roof section to install it.

That's a pretty involved stamping...
Are sunroof parts getting that hard to find anymore?

basically this
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2258865
These things are all over the super beetle classifieds. I can't imagine this doesn't share a part number with us...
Eyeballing this one, looks correct to me. And my late model square has already shared quite a few parts with a super. Bit too expensive for me to take a gamble on, gonna look into it.
If anyone has some insight please let me know. |

I'd pass on it. I believe it's too narrow width wise, and too short length wise.

I'll see if i can't get someone nice to make measurements for me. or find VW part numbers for both somehow. I can't imagine its that far off
Grasping at straws here. I feel for the Type 34 guys now. Finding the stuff VW didn't want to parts-bin is a pain. |

the type 34 sunroof has an extra piece as well, a thin metal rectangle surround. I thought I had a pic but couldnt find it the other day, I was going to post it here asking if it was just type 34 or not...

The type 34 sunroof is all by itself, just like the rest of the t-34 body. It's one of the reasons I sold mine...lack of replacement body metal, and anything related to it.

yep, it was more 356 and less VW. so I found this. Type 34 has this style, part number 2. might be able to get away with something similar on a type3 if you can't find the part

where did you get those pics of the 356 sunroof ?
I would like to see more if possible as am looking for references for a buddys 356 manual sunroof like that and he will probably need that piece too.
thanks

Hey guys this thread is about me, remember? 
I can't find any measurements on super beetle sunroofs or anything else.
Guess i'm still stuck with combing the classifieds. |

There's one in the link you originally posted.
Most Beetle sunroof parts will not fit a Type 3 as the lid is wider and longer.

I found an angel in the classifieds that hooked me up with a type 3 panel.
This sunroof is nickel and dimeing me to death. |
