111-898-190 VW Beetle 3-Piece Dash Molding Set - 1958-1967 German

3-Piece Dash Molding Set (German) – 111-898-190

The 111-898-190 is an essential interior upgrade for any air-cooled Beetle enthusiast. Over decades, original dash trim often becomes pitted, scratched, or lost during previous repairs. Replacing your weathered trim with this high-shine German set immediately refreshes the "view from the driver's seat," bringing back the brightwork contrast that makes the vintage Beetle interior so iconic.

This kit is compatible across all Beetle body styles including Sedans, Ragtops, Sunroofs, and Convertibles.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• • Use the Correct Clips: These moldings are typically secured using small metal spring-clips behind the dashboard. For a rattle-free installation, ensure your Dash Molding Clips (113-853-235) are in good condition or replaced with new ones.

  • Align Before Pressing: Before snapping the clips home, dry-fit the trim to ensure it is centered on the glove box and grilles. Once the metal tangs are bent or snapped into place, they can be difficult to adjust without scratching the fresh paint.

  • Gentle Cleaning: To preserve the German chrome finish, clean only with a soft microfiber cloth and a mild interior detailer. Avoid using abrasive metal polishes, which can wear down the chrome plating over time.
