When I say cardboard, it was a type of a formed black hardboard.

From Dirk's project thread,
Dirk wrote:Christn is already red, so it only saves me that much more trouble in getting the change of colour registered.
Where on the registration papers does it mention the car's colour? I can't seem to find it on mine :!: :? :shock:

My stupid question. How does the wiper switch from a late beetle work?The column mounted switch...

Do you push the switch upwards to get the the wipers on? Or is the off position on top?

And my solution would be to intermittently switch them on and off... :hangloose: :lol: :finger4u: A lot less work and more time to spend on the seatcover.... :flash:
