The frame also had to be reinforced for the development of the convertible, although even the Beetle Sedan was still built with a stable chassis. This makes it difficult for the replicas in which a closed model was converted by separating the roof to the convertible. Incidentally, one can also see on the never quite suitable hood, which know-how in the execution of a well-fitting and flawless folding top is inserted.

Incidentally, the soft top could not be folded away in any Beetle convertible version. The air box of the engine was in the way. To still achieve a certain view through the interior rearview mirror, this could be folded up with the top down. 02/19
