1952-1967 Beetle Ragtop Sunroof Tension Strips 225875581 - OEM Number(s) (225-875-581)
Restore the side tensioning system on your 1952-1967 Volkswagen Standard Beetle ragtop sunroof with this European manufactured pair of tension strips, the correct full-length strips that hold the canvas in proper tension along both sides of the sunroof opening.
These Volkswagen Beetle ragtop sunroof tension strips run the length of the canvas ragtop and maintain correct tension along both sides of the sunroof opening. Without proper side tensioning, the canvas can sag, wrinkle, or shift, which takes away from both the appearance and the weather-tight seal of the factory ragtop.
European manufactured to original Volkswagen specification for correct fit, length, and long service life. Sold as a pair so both sides of the ragtop opening can be addressed in one installation, ideal during ragtop canvas service, replacement, or restoration.

Because Details Matter: The side edges of a ragtop sunroof are where the canvas earns or loses its taut, factory-correct appearance, and a worn or missing pair of tension strips lets the ragtop sag and shift. The right European-made pair, full 72 inch length, 4 inch width, restores side tension exactly where the factory installed it and gives your Beetle ragtop the clean, properly tensioned profile it was built with.
