The 2 Speed VW Windshield Wiper Switch will fit 1968 through 1971 Beetles, 1971 Super Beetles, 1968 through 1971 Karmann Ghias and 1968 through 1971 Type 3s. 1971 was a split year with early models using a dash mounted wiper switch, late model 1971s have a wiper switch on the steering column. The wiper switch has 3 positions; off-on-on, for two speed wiper motors (see Tech Tips for wiring information). The wiper switch is held in place to the dash with a 14 mm dash escutcheon and has a 5mm threaded post for the dash knob. (Both the dash nut and the knob can be added above.) The wiper switch also has the pneumatic diaphragm for the windshield washer nozzle which is operated through the center of the threaded post by the wiper knob.

A Dash Switch Escutcheon Tool makes removing and installing the switch much easier, click here for a link to it.


The 1962-67 two-speed wiper switch looks very similar to the 1968-71 two-speed wiper switch.
The difference is the mounting escutcheon. 1962-67 uses a 10mm escutcheon. 1968-71 uses a 14mm escutcheon.

Product Fits:

Beetle 1968-1971
Super Beetle 1971
Karmann Ghia 1968-1971
Type 3 1968-1971
