VW Bug Beetle Removable Rear Apron

[@vivauruguay]

The only video that show me in clear detail how to remove the rear apron of my vw

[@aaronlehman9549]

Amazing video!! I’ve watched about 10 of these now and yours was leaps and bounds better

[@mschiffel1]

Excellent "How To " video.

[@johnfisk7579]

Well done! Thanks!

[@airgrabber71]

Thanks for your video. I'll be doing mine sometime in early spring. Nice job!

[@markwarren6293]

Great video, do you make one removing the front apron?

[@slowlanechannel4680]

Do you have more videos of filling all the spot welds back up on the apron and body

[@leeelliott1510]

Hi. How did you attach the new apron? Quick release?

[@marbleknight]

I've done it several ways, quick release DZUS fasteners, regular bolts, and my favorite: Nothing. For the past year I have been running one that is held in by nothing other than the rear fenders. The last three bolts around the backsides of the rear fenders will hold the apron in there after you tighten them down. It's like putting the apron in two vises and it is NOT coming out of there, come Hell or high water!

Nice, clear video! I would like to do this on my Bug. What tool did you use in your Dremel to cut the inside "ears"?

[@zoobyshoe694]

marbleknight Thanks, but I got it done already. I had a cutter like the one you linked to, and it seemed the most likely one to work, so I used it. As you said to Lee Elliott below, I am keeping it on just with the fender bolts, and so far it has been secure. Anyway, I wouldn't have attempted this without your video. It helped greatly to show what problems were to be expected.

[@jojomojo9439]

what kind of dremel cutting tool did you use?

[@marbleknight]

I used the fiber-reinforced dremel discs.

What is that you covered your hood vents with??

[@marbleknight]

Just a magnetic strip. If I'm out driving and it looks like it's going to rain I will slap it on there to keep water out of the engine bay. I don't drive with it on there though.

[@unicron24]

+marbleknight so is there a overheating problem when they are covered? So rain really gets in the engine ?

[@marbleknight]

I never tried driving it with the vents covered so I'm not sure about the overheating. You could argue that the earlier models didn't have decklid vents at all, but VW must have put them there for a reason. As for whether the rain comes in through the vents, the answer is absolutely. The vents are right over the engine with nothing but air in between.
