13:15 - 13:40 is worth every penny. nowhere on the gol-durned innertubes have i found the right way to do this. I nearly pulled my groin trying to separate the top from bottom. Now I know what to do to save my special area AND my seat bottom as I reassemble the seat. Thank you good sir, Stay gold.

No we did the savanna beige for sure. The interior was a vintage custom, burgundy two tone with beige tweed cloth insert.

Interesting to see how to pull the covers over the seat frames. My question (maybe a good topic for future video) is how to repair, reinforce seat springs. My 1967 beetle's driver side lower seat sags a bit on the right side (from use by right leg) and needs to be fixed. Any suggestions about how to accomplish this?

Hi Chris, I have a 1968 Bug and want to put low back seats in it. Are the tracks for the early 60's the same as my 68 so I can just swap them out? Thanks, love the videos!!

How about the rubber/urethane bumpers that the seat back hits when positioned back (driving position). There was at some point, some bump stops affixed down low on the bottom seat frame (one on each side of the seat). When the seat back is moved back into driving position, the frame on the seat back stops on these bump stops. I’ve been seeking information about these bump stops. Where can I buy them to replace my originals that are all but gone.

If you have a paint can lid popper, you can get under the lip inside and give it a pull. Or you can take 2 flat screwdrivers, slip under the knob and pry it up.

Anyone know how to repair the flip up lever on the side of the seat on a 75 beetle. Lever moves, I can see the cable moving the mechanical lock on the right side, but left side is not moving as much. I have the back of the seat removed from the base. And that's where I am at now. Not sure about the internals of the seat.

Hey Chris! What a wonderful video. I’ll be doing mine very soon. I pray you are still tracking comments on this one, because I have a question. What material and color is this! It appears to be some form of white and both smooth white back and basket weave full insert, right? Please eat me know what type of white this is. Thanks buddy! 😇☺️

Hi Chris! I need a little advise. Twelve years ago, my dad made being installed a side mirror to my 69 bug's passenger door (when it still was his). However, it has the hole on the door but the inner nut isn't welded to the door itself, so occasionally the nut needs to be adjusted and for that I have to dismount most of the door's components to do so. Any suggestions on how weld this problematic nut? Thanks bud!

Yes there is a knob down the side on the seat that should bring it back a little, there are 3 positions, but it is not much.

if you want original, you would have to source them online from say thesamba.com. Or they do sell aftermarket frames, but they do not look like the originals.
