I was crusing around the Late Model forum and thought maybe the early crowd may find this interesting. Seems like a decent idea just needs to be larger opening to be effective. Were these used by VW in hot climates as stated? Hidden yet functional. I could see a market for the pre 70's owners with hot running engines in hot climates.

"Cool" idea...simple and effective.
I'm not cutting a hole in my decklid, though.

I have a 1974 Super Beetle obvious CA model. No wonder it is so hard to find the flaps and equipment. |
