111-898-111BGR VW Beetle 7-Piece Aluminum Body Molding - 1967 German

1967 Aluminum Body Molding (German) – 111-898-111BGR

The 111-898-111BGR is an essential purchase for the serious 1967 Beetle enthusiast. Because the 1967 model is highly prized for its unique transitional features, using the correct "thin-line" trim is vital for maintaining the car's value and historical accuracy. These German-made rails are polished to a mirror finish and are pre-contoured to follow the iconic curves of the Beetle’s body panels.

Replacing old, dented, or scratched trim with this German aluminum set provides an immediate visual lift, giving the car the crisp, defined lines it had when it first rolled off the assembly line in Wolfsburg.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Use New Clips: For the best fitment and to prevent the trim from rattling or falling off, always install these with a fresh set of Molding Clips (113-585C) and their corresponding rubber bungs.

• Avoid "kinking": When installing the long hood and door pieces, apply pressure evenly across the length of the trim. Aluminum is soft; localized pressure can cause a small dent or "kink" that is difficult to remove.

• Gentle Cleaning: To maintain the brilliant German finish, clean the moldings with a soft microfiber cloth and a non-abrasive wax. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that can etch the aluminum surface.
