Running Board Installation Notes
All of our running boards will fit any air-cooled VW Beetle or Super Beetle if installed properly. The running boards have the same bolt pattern throughout the years - if you follow our instructions explicitly, we can assure you that the boards will fit. Trimming is usually required. The slots for the running board-to-body bolts may not allow the running boards to sit low enough on the body, which could prevent the door from closing properly.
- Loosen the 13mm fender bolts from the center of the fender down to the running board to allow movement of the fender.
- Loosely install 13mm bolts from the running board to the front and rear fenders.
- Align the running board to the body and loosely install four 10 millimeter bolts through the running board to the body. If the four 10 millimeter bolts do not align to the body, loosen more fender bolts to allow more movement.
- Check that the running board is all the way down on the 10mm bolts. If not, the door will scrape the running board rubber.
- Tighten the four 10mm bolts to secure the underside of the running board.
- Tighten the 13mm bolts from the running board to the fender.
- Tighten the 13mm fender bolts while realigning the fender beading.
