72-74 Ghia Lower Dash Knee Pads (2-Piece Set) – 141-857-061B

VW Ghia Lower Dash Knee Pads (2-Piece Set) – 141-857-061B

Restore the lower half of your dashboard with this 2-Piece Lower Dash Knee Pad Set. Designed specifically for late-model Karmann Ghias, these pads provide the finished look and impact protection required for a complete factory-correct interior. Over time, original knee pads often warp, lose their mounting studs, or become "chalky" and brittle.

These are not thin covers or veneers; they are replacement molded pads (often manufactured from high-grade automotive polyurethane) designed to replace the original factory units entirely. They provide a clean, uniform look that perfectly complements a new dash pad and wood-grain face kit.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Mounting Hardware: These pads typically secure to the metal dashboard frame using integrated studs and nuts. Before installation, ensure your metal dash flange is straight and that the mounting holes are clear of old foam or debris.

• Wiring Management: Before bolting these into place, ensure all your under-dash wiring is neatly bundled and secured. This is the best time to check your fuse box connections and ensure no wires will be pinched by the new pads.

• Alignment: To get the best look, dry-fit the pads first to ensure they line up with the edges of your Wood Grain Dash Overlay. Minor trimming of the overlay may be required for a perfectly seamless fit.

• Cleaning: Maintain the finish with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid heavy silicone-based sprays, which can cause a distracting glare on the lower surfaces.
