I'll be needing a pair of these too. Hard to find. Closest I got to them was a person from the Philippines a couple years ago but never chased down the lead. Figured another set would pop up. They were NOS, though a plastic part made me wonder if they were even worth it anyway due to deterioration from sitting on a shelf for 40 plus years.

I probably should have updated a while back. The man who makes these is Peter, located in Hungry. He did get back to me, think it was about two weeks. I ordered and received them a few weeks ago. The guy was great to deal with, totally upfront, letting me know it would be about a month before he could make them.
Overall, I am happy with them. I painted them off-white to better match headliner and trim. I feel I should trim them a little to fit tighter in the corners but have not done that yet. |

Here's a guy who makes his own with 0.6mm aluminum sheeting.
Now that's pretty cool...
He's here on the forum! Ask away!
I believe his moniker is Elvin_hr
He's from Croatia.

| I heard back from Peter. He makes these in his spare time and the cost is 100 euro per set with 10 euro shipping. Think I will give it a try. |

I bought a pair of these from Peter. He said he would ship next week.
Peter asked me to help him make these available here on the Samba. Let me know if you are interested in a pair. Hopefully I can get him online soon so he can set up a classified ad.

FWIW...
Stumbled across this at VW1302.de lately: https://www.vw1302.de/start/aktuell/aktuell.html
It seems Andreas Becüwe in Germany fabricates reproductions.
For details mail to andreas.becuewe(at)online.de |
