You will pay a price for an oval rear cut. AFAIK FBi in Wales/Swansea would likely stock one - at a hefty price. There's a chap on Volkzone doing a roof chop to a 70s beetles - it's either a split or oval rear window steel pressed outer section with the louvres etc n in the text it was remarked...

....your linkage might be very tight or near to seizing - increased pressure on the motor meaning it heats up n blows a fuse - of course being that inaccessible ye can't feel or get an infa red temp reading on it...or maybe a short in wiring?

Is it the hatch wiper motor, or the main windscreen motor? Pretty sure I've both, but I'll have to double check. If you've anything beetle related, I'd consider a a trade/swop. Solid Drivers door/engine/shells etc

Just messaged you there 👍

Cool; I'm in south Tipperary, but I hope to get a mate who resides in Dublin to pick them up. I'll message you later to see if he's up for it. Thanks

"Pair of 1300 tp heads and inlet manifolds €30" Id be interested in these; where are you located? Thanks

Not sure why you'd go cutting off the doors even as a last resort - I've gone across it done before but you still need to take off the hinge mount on the pillar with the snot weld/smaller bolts welded to the screws method.... If you were to hack yr doors off you could just go n replace the...

Sound - replied to yr message there.

I've the rails attached to some Honda seats; can be hacked off again from their "wrigleys spearmint welding' joints....🙄 I'm in south Tipp.
