TIP: Pinch Welt Source and P/N

After flying for over a year with a butt ugly glare shield and trim, I finally put something there that looks halfway decent. In the process I also found a source for pinch welt.

I'm a VW guy as well and a few months ago I was picking up some parts for my 1973 VW Thing. While I was there, I picked up some VW pinch welt which works perfectly on our RV glare shields.







I picked this up when I was down in Southern California at SoCal Imports.

It was $20 which is probably enough for 3 RVs.

The VW Part Number is 113847131BBK. This is carried by other VW parts suppliers as well. Just cut the length you need. I used a Dremel and a cutting wheel.

You're welcome.

Thanks for the info. Did you cover the rest of the glare shield with felt or something?

Pinch welt

Very nice. I'll remember that one. Thanks
I too am a VW fan but don't currently own one. I restored a bug once from the frame up. The UPS guy got really interested. He even delivered the engine in several boxes. I would love to do another someday. My dream restoration is a Porche 356c but they are impossible to find.
