Hello! This is my first post I recently acquired my first Beetle, a 1966. I am redoing the interior and have new TMI seat covers but the seat padding is not in good shape and will need to be replaced. I looked into getting some from Wolfsburg West but they are not shipping orders at the moment. Does anyone have any suggestions for other good places to get coconut padding from? Thanks!

Nice find! seems to be in good shape overall. I don't have any suggestions on where to find but it will only be a matter of time before someone does. Congrats on the 66. |

"score" on the nice '66 and welcome to the Samba. The only other place I've seen the coconut fiber pads is Mid America Motorworks. They incorrectly call them horsehair pads. A lot of people have had issues with Motorworks so I only brought them up for reference. If it was me, I'd wait for WW. I used their pads in my '66 and the fit was excellent ! One word of advise, please keep your car as original and stock as possible. Survivors are getting harder and harder to find. Stay healthy !!
