JBugs - 1971 VW Super Beetle - Vent Wing Rebuild

View our complete selection of air-cooled VW parts on the JBugs website: http://www.jbugs.com/

Disassembling just about anything is simple, it’s getting it back together afterwards that is the hard part! Either way, our tech goes over disassembling, and then covers the reassembly of the vent wing windows for our 1971 Super Beetle Project. This was a little more difficult as we painted our frames black but the same processes will apply for stock, chrome plated and polished assemblies. It will just be easier since there is less worry about scratching paint!
