    Brick parts wanted

    ....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?

    Brick parts wanted

    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

    Once that swop meet is decided upon n I can get to it, id meet you with the hatch. As I said needs some work, but dry stored/still on my van. ...I'm switching over to a very slightly better one than needs left n right corners doing - marginally slightly less welding πŸ™„ Anyways I'll message you...

That one was modded with flared wings n...
