Can anyone help me identify these parts from a '63 Beetle Sedan? I believe they are from the interior as I had them stored in a bin with all interior pieces.

No...much too small for that.
I'd guess that these fell out of the seat springs.
Or, they could be some non-VW things that somehow found their way into your parts bin. _________________ '63 Ragtop (current)

They remind me of extractor springs for an old rifle. _________________ 1960 Ragtop w/Semaphores "Inga" |

They remind of the old pep boys registration sleeve things that old timers used to strap around the steering column. Those look like the part the springs grab on to. _________________

Any chance that these are part of the turn signal control? I've dealt with these clips about 40 years ago, but my memory is a little foggy. _________________ Where would this hobby be if no one shipped parts.
