Hey everyone!
This forum has been a huge help to me, so I thought I'd give back. I made this quick little video for people to see how to change the ignition switch. This was done on a 72 Super Beetle. Sorry it is a little shaky I was doing it with one hand holding the camera.

A couple of questions....
1. How do you get the turn signal lever off? I felt like I had to be super careful or else the wires would rip out.
2. How do you remove the wiper lever?
I probably did it the hard way, but it worked. Anyway hope you enjoy!!

Haven't had to go there yet, but it's nice to know what's hiding under that steering wheel. Thanks for posting.

i think there should be another forum on how to's or instructions on how to do stuff like as simple as removing windows to a whole engine rebuild,etc i think it would be a great add on to this online community  |

Do you find them comfortable for extended walking? At first glance, the sole doesn't appear to provide much support. I'd like to buy a pair, but am concerned about long term comfort as I live in the city and do a lot of walking (between 2 and 8 miles per day). |

If that's the case, then it should be taken down due to having little or no value as a "Sticky".

Common. Be careful. Don't overtighten the tiny screws.
