111-827-025ACX Bug 68-71 Decklid Without Louvers (Scratch & Dent)

*THIS UNIT WILL BE SCRATCH AND DENT.*

VW Rear Engine Decklid (No Louvers) – 111-827-025ACX

This quality reproduction decklid offers a sleek, ventless aesthetic for your 1968–1977 Beetle or Super Beetle. Manufactured in Brazil, the lid includes pre-installed hinges but does not come with additional mounting hardware, locks, or emblems. Please be aware that these units may feature mounting holes for foreign-market emblems, which can easily be filled during the bodywork phase.

Important Fitment Note: This decklid utilizes the 3-hole handle configuration original to 1968–1971 models. While it fits the body of 1972–1977 Beetles, those later vehicles will require PN: 111-517A and PN: 113-827-503F to complete the installation.

Sheet Metal & Installation Notes

• Surface Prep: The black spray-on coating is a rust inhibitor, not a primer. It must be removed entirely before you apply your own automotive primer.

• Body Work Expectations: As a "Scratch & Dent" sheet metal item, expect minor dings, scratches, or imperfections. These are normal in the classic car industry; you should plan for minor body filler and sanding during the restoration process.

• Test Fit First: Always test fit the decklid to your vehicle before beginning any paint or body work. Once the part has been altered, painted, or sanded, it is no longer returnable.

• Hardware Transfer: You will need to transfer your existing latch mechanism and license plate light assembly to this new lid.
