      I take it you haven't had the pleasure of watching them roll down a hill.

          That damned glue...I think it must be made from melted crayons, that's also why it doesn't stick to anything.

          Don't forget that they come off the transport in the pre-pdi plastic with the CEL and SRS lights on.
          I've flipped several VW's, and just about every beetle has needed the SRS harness repaired under the passenger seat...you would think someone would have figured out that just an extra inch or 2 of wire would have saved them millions in warranty repairs.

          I haven't seen or spoken to Bsharer in years, and I figured I'd call John as a last resort. Don't want to bother him with BS, since he's focusing on the new shop now.

          That's the truth....Even in the old simple bugs.

          Actually a pretty decent one, and it was very cheap b/c of what some relative who is a "master certified tech" told the PO. I've put $156 and about 4-hours labor in it, and it's all fixed. That 4-hours labor is guaranteed to make me about $2K, maybe a little more...so yeah, I'll take $500/hr every opportunity I get. I've done several and made out well on all of them. I have no idea why, but every one of these that I've sold went really fast...there seems to be a pretty big following out there for VW's.

            TheHead worked at VW for a long time too, but as Bcoop pointed out, he hasn't posted in quite some time.

                It's the insulation/foam on the back of the carpet.
                I worked at VW for about a year back in 2006. I still have some contatcs up there if anyone ends up needing something.
