Yes 1 mm, I make them as originals are. Hebmüller has different rails than convertible beetle.
Next the lower channels... |
Make them stronger!

said the man with the most experience in making convertible tops on Split Karmann , Hebmullers and other coachbuilts. That is why I made them in 2 mm.  Reinforcement rails under the heater channel in 2 mm with V rail in 2 mm and Z rail inside heater channel 2 mm... It is good for the doorgaps

Hello. Anyone know what type of U channel rubber for post 4-50 Window channels? I am only known to pre 4-50 U channels. Tried with pre 4-50 U cgannel rubber, but have problems on the open part on the channel. Anyone have a tip? |

Remove the rubber in the open area. I used a razor knife.

The first complete lower rail for early convertible. Next I will make these couple of pieces for left side, and then start to build the tool for right side.
There will be sprayed zinc paint under the V-support rail.

I need your help!
I'm making these outriggers for floorpan, but don't have a good pattern on the outer area, also want to verify the first hole location.
What are the original dimensions of A and B?
