UNDER THE STRAW HAT – Restorer’s Insight
Beetles originally came with stiff tarboard firewall insulation that absorbed moisture and deteriorated over time. This updated 3-piece rubber insulation offers improved acoustic damping and better heat resistance—ideal for restorers who drive.
Because Details Matter
Restoration isn’t only about what people see—it’s what they hear and feel. Swapping brittle old tarboard for this modern rubber solution brings a quieter ride and a more finished engine bay. One of those small steps that makes a big difference.
