Hey there, I'm new to RAMVA. I've got a 70 (maybe 71...was born in 70 but cant remember the month) Ghia I've been wrenching on for a year or two. The windows (either side) scrape against metal in the door of some sort when one rolls the window up or down. Does anyone have any kind of idea on...

Hello hello. I'm still kicking around in my recently aquired '74 cal-style Std Beetle. It's running great and all I've done is change the oil and fiddle with the interior. There's a few things that still need some work however... For one, the car has one-piece windows installed...poorly. I'm...

Going to replace the windcreen rubber on the squareback. Don,t have any problems with the process having done quite a few other windows before. Except, for the soft aluminium trim. Anyone know whether I should fit the trim last, after window has been refitted or fit rubber to window,then the...

Just picked up locally a new windshield for my 75 Baja. Broke the original trying to reinstall after a self done, cheap paint job. While I was putting it in, with a new seal, the string I was using kept on tearing into the seal. I didn't have any problems with the other 3 windows. Anyone have...

I'm sure this has been discussed here before but I can't seem to find it in a search of the group so excuse me for asking again.... Is there a way to polish scratches out of a windshield? Ignore the fact that the whole thing could be replaced, I'd like to know if anyone has ever had any luck...

I have a '74 Super with a window washer tank that works of the spare tire pressure. The tank cap/pressure valve, seems to be stuck. Anyone know where I can get a new pressure valve? Thanks, - Mike

Has anyone had experience with the type of windshield washer bottle that appears to have a small pump recessed into the wall of the neoprene fluid tank? I have never seen this type before, always having the spare-tire-pressurized type in the past. I don't kow where the actuator switch is for this...

My 68 the knob came of and the windshield wippers will not turn off. How do I turn them off and replace the knob? Thanks Steven

"Can't" just isn't in this guy's vocabulary, apparently :) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/dwilkins/eclubvw/ACBug.jpg Jan

I picked up a 12v, four spade, wiper motor that I would like to put into my 12v '65. Whats the easiest way to bench test it, to make sure it works first of all? Will the motor bolt right into the assembly? I want to replace the original switch for a 2 speed switch. A '67 switch should work. What...

ok, im new to these forums but looks like some of you guys know whats up with these aircooleds and its been a few years since i messed with 'em so here goes. We '68 ghia a bit back and the wife has decided to start driving it. the wipers dont work and i cant tell if its the motor or the switch-...

wiper is stuck in the middle of hatch window? Any suggestions on what could be the problem.. Forgive me.... i know nothing about the mechanics...just trying to figure out what is wrong? Was thinking motor in wiper or something. Help

Problems are like jello: you push down in one area and stuff squirts out another. A few weeks ago I posted a method to add intermittent (delay) operation to wipers. It's been drizzly here in San Diego county and I gotta say that having intermittent wiper operation is a delight in the...

Hello all I'm trying to restore a 1970 beetle. This was one of those "if you can get it out of my driveway it's yours". So now I have a bug thats been sitting for 8 yrs and I've been working on it since last year. My question is, for some reason when I hit the break it blows the fuse the controls...

I came to the conclusion that I should replace the wiring harness in my 73 bug convertable with autostick other than "bandaiding" the wiring . The previous owner changed the dash hacked and wacked the wiring . I also have a problem with the transmission wiring being cut and spliced and not shifting...

I purchased a 190.350.079 reg and my 73 vw has 2 wires coming from the arm post ( 1 heavy red and 1 small wire ) . a small wire from the field and a ground wire There is a heavy red wire from the battery and 1 wire from the indicator light. all the schematics show 5 wires When I hook all the...

I have a 1960 bug. I have been unable to find an accurate electrical diagram. All of the diagrams that I have seen for 1960 do not look like my car. I have a fuse panel with 4 banks and then mounted to the inside of the left front fender is another fuse block with four banks. I have found...

Hi, Jim, Excellent diagrams there, especially the one looking at the back of the radio. Just what I needed. With luck, I can get to the installation over the weekend. Thank you, and
