Volkswagen Beetle Convertible Top Cables

Side Hold Down Cables: All VW Beetle and Super Beetle convertibles have side hold down cables. They are embedded in the top's side hems. A spring is attached on one end of each cable using the crimp "cups" provided with our cables. Or, we provide the cables with pre-attached stainless-steel springs. Often the old spring is reusable.


Rear Attachment Cable: The rear attachment cable was introduced in the middle of 1967. It holds the rear lower ridge of the top down to the body of the car. Our rear attachment cables have stainless steel studs and nuts.


All of our convertible top cables are American-made.

Note: this cable is laid over the rear base welting of the convertible top.
An improvised "spatula"  is carefully pushed downward on the cable, lowering the
back of the top into the attachment channel. The nuts on the studs are
tightened as you work. The tightening of the studs is not done to pull
down on the top. Make certain you have clear directions when doing this work !
