1971 VW Super Beetle - Trunk Wrap Up - Part 2:

Body Exterior Routing

Video Overview:

We’re finishing up the trunk reassembly in our 1971 Super Beetle and by the end we’ll be able to shut the and lock the hood. Follow along as our Tech shows you how to hook up all the fresh air hoses, and fresh air box. We also install the hood seal, hinges, upper and lower trunk liners, and finally the largest piece of the car apart from the body, the hood itself! Then we’ll cap it off with a new hood emblem, and install the body matched hood handle, with new seals and a latch.
