    67 squareback covers from jbug

    Vintage VW Parts, Classic Volkswagen Parts, VW Bug Parts, VW Beetle Parts, and VW Bus Parts.


    your either the full highbacks like mine or the squaretop highbacks (there are 2 different squaretop models) but regardless the cut is all the same. Cut off the sidewall (the large steel tubing framing the entire seat) level with the top of the back support springs, see picture below:



    then i used 2 1/4" metal rods to reframe the square seat





    ziptied them and then a couple tap welds, reupholstered them to snug with some high density foam



    its a layering process to get it to form up exactly how you want it

    custom lowbacks



    side by side look at the high vs lows, i love them low look so much more

    Got anymore info on this? I wanted to do this to my highback seats but i think mine are different. What covers do you get specifically?

    it was an easy job too, little frame fix and just a set of 67 seat covers. One of my favorite mods to this car yet. No highbacks blocking the view through, clean line of site straight thru the car, huge improvement.

    hahaha it's a narrowed beam, it's chopped 4" in to sit it low. if that was positive camber that would be crazy ha, I'd turn the wheel an inch and the car would 90 into a ditch ha
