Would someone please recommend the BEST online source for used parts for a Beetle (other than theSamba)? I'm looking for a pop-out window latch, and the prices for new are insane. Thanks,

ML

I've had good luck with Paul Ripa at J.B. Bugs in Florida. Give Paul a call and he just might have what you need. Here's their web site, but you need to call and ask as they don't list their used inventory online.

I got a used part from Bugcity that I was having trouble finding. They sell new and used.

Depends on where you are located. In California/Arizona it is still possible to find junkyards with good parts. BFY obsolete parts is a good source.
