Hello ,
My VW Bug from 1970 is under major restoration work, and like many cars from that year need new heater channels.
I sourced original German ones without bottom closing panels, and I plan to install reinforcement rails used on Karmann cabriolets for additional strength.
My question is - do I need to buy both parts - heater channel closing panels and reinforcement rails, or just reinforcement rails ?

Or both, that is the question now...
