Hello,
i know it is not the right page for the question or on which page i can get the information. Where to buy great replicas of seat upholstery, door side panels, armrest, carpets, top cover, underlining?
For rubber mats, I will contact Luis, of course.

check out topic on original interiors, and you'll have to buy a ribbed dash pad from the Aussie trimmer anyway you may want to check him out also.

Thanks for answering the previous question.
But now I really don’t understand what my KG had the original rubber mats or not, the certificate doesn’t say, the floors are new with no pins welded and both are missing kick back. At the online store where I found the pins for the rubber mats they wrote it didn’t.
Who can help me?
I have a year may / 1960 convertible US specification |

All Ghias came with the pins.
Rubber mats were standard on the early cars, optional on later not sure when the switch was made. I’m thinking 72 but can’t say for sure.

Isn’t 1960 the only year the pieces keeping the mats in place are little slotted tabs? I believe every other besides 60 had circular pin tabs holding the mat in place.

I will end up in a madhouse with these details, I will weld as many circular pins.
Does anyone have any plans or at least where can I buy a kickback plate because I don’t have them.
I learn something new every day, this car is a legend.  |

What is the "kickback" plate you are referring to? All I can think of is the kick panels below the back seat?? Or the foot rest plate??

I assume the plate with the pins that are welded to the bottom of the cross piece for the rear seat?
I need a pair two for my 70 or will just fabricate something.

KGPR sells reproductions made out of "heavy duty molded plastic but they don't have the buttons for the rubber mats.
https://airheadparts.com/vw-part/kick-plate-seat-141-813-106-b/
I searched a long time before I found these from a parts car. If you're not in hurry, you can find them.

Yes kick panels below the back seat with welded pins for rubber mats.
I need both panels and my is old shape, model may/1960 convertible, I think it is the same as lowlight 1959 |
