Installing Legacy Ragtop Conversion kit-1969 Beetle Restoration-PART 23
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Check out my new ragtop on my 1969 VW Beetle. Installing the kit was pretty easy, although it didn't come with instructions. I found a helpful video from the company BRITAX, but it was in Portuguese. Despite the language barrier, it was the only guide I had.
We started by setting up the black frame on top of the car, which helped us with measurements. Once we marked all our spots, we cut the roof. Although I was nervous, we managed to cut it off without any problems.
After removing the roof, we put the black frame back on the car and added the chrome rails on top. Then we installed the tan-colored ragtop, which will complement the car's future paint color.
We encountered a small issue with the latch, which made it impossible to shut the ragtop completely. After some adjustments, everything fell into place, and we finished the installation.

Nicely done! Such a classic look. Can’t wait to see the safari windows and new paint job. Keep it up man.
Damn, bro, you're going all out. A lot of nice components. Dig it.
Awesome job for doing it yourself and making a video 👍🏽

Thank you. I'm trying my best to do everything by myself. It's hard at times, but it's always great to see the final result and be proud of all the hard work.
Oscar you did a great job on that rag top. Everything looks beautiful.

I agree. I was initially apprehensive because it's such a significant project to take on, but as I started working on it, I realized it was easier than I had anticipated. Thank you for your support, brother!

@@oscar_dubs Always scary doing some things but cutting the whole roof is the scariest.

Thank you! One step closer to finishing this project.
awesome , I have a 69 I'm building now. Plan on putting a rag top in so this was good to see that not that difficult. I already put my safari in and I think I know who you are talking about. He clearly says this isn't his main job LOL and it could take a while. The company I got mine fron has his initials of his company but not sure if it is a knock off or not , as the locks are on the side and not the bottom. look forward to more videos
Great job man!

Thank you, brother! It's great to see the car come together and share my journey with you guys.
I think you are the only Cali guy that has a video on the aftermarket RAG install awesome I wouldn't do it to my 67 bug I'm restoring, but I would definitely do it to a 69 or 70 bug
Awesome job 💪🏼🇬🇧

Hey there! I really appreciate the support. Sending lots of love from California!
I love how the rag top looks but I was wondering Does the rain stay out? Especially when driving. I just don’t see how the rag is closed tight enough Glad you’re taking your time and doing it right!
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
looking solid bro 🙌🏼 i’m tryna see this mf with a fresh coat!
Dubs! What’s crackin’ dude? 8 months is way too long. Shoulda been one month max?! Why so long. Honestly I’m not a big fan of safari windows on bugs, only buses. I would get my money back and use it for other parts. I would also put dude on blast for taking so damn long. He probably is stealing your money. Anyways top looks good. Nice job!
