San Diego VDub Life

Welcome to my channel where I have several car projects going on including a 1965 VW Convertible Type 1, 1969 VW Westfalia Type 2, 2003 VW Golf GL, a 2008 Toyota Tacoma and a new addition to the familia is a 1972 Chevelle. In addition to maintenance, I also do repair videos and help others with their cars from time to time. I also skate for fun so sometimes I'll post skate videos. When I have time I will also do unboxing videos and other general house stuff. Enjoy and please subscribe.

    This is exactly the kit I used for my Beetle, however on my Beetle (2001) it took a bit more "creativity" On my Beetle the screws are set way deeper, so if you somplt put the magnetic catch in, it is too deep to catch the metal disc on the lid. Also they are at an odd angle and will not contact the lid nice and flat. So Beetle owners, if you want this kit to work, you have to be a bit more creative. Do like I did and mount the magnets at the very top edge of the glove box. I dropped the glove box, and epoxy in a wooden strip of square right behind the upper lip of the glove box. Then after the epoxy is all set, drill a 12mm hole, but do not go all the way threw your wood, just a hole threw the plastic to expose the wood. The mount the magnets with the screw provided into the wood. Set your black metlel catch prices onto your lid on the perfect contacting spot and your good. The Beetle has to be different and difficult, but it works marvelous 👍

    I think you can turn the tie-rod tube without taking out the tie-rod end. It's the reason why they have opposite threads at each side. Some tie-rod bars have a flat side portion so you can get a wrench on it once you've undone the locknuts.
