Hi, I am restoring an german made roof rack for a 59 Bug. I realized how difficult is to find the load capacity decal that goes on the wooden slat above the drive`s seat to the point that I decided to stop looking in the internet and ask in this forum if anyone knows of a distributor that sale this hard to find item. I was refered the Wolfburg West in the past but they don`t carry this item anymore. I have seen a lots of nice pictures of it which tell me that someone in this world is producing the decal but unfortunately have been a very dificult task for my to buy just the decal. I am seriously thinking on research for specifications and procude my own. I need some help on this one!

someone had been reproducing them and selling them in past, but I haven't seen the ad for a while. I bought one, I'll look to see if I have the envelope still and find a name.

I am wanting the same decal. 58cabrio, thanks for the links! I was under the impression that the original decals were yellow... Am I wrong?
