A
"clip" is a section of roof cut off another beetle that has been damaged.
If you can find one,
they are usually cut off at the posts.
All you need to graft one in is about an inch of material
around
the sunroof opening. There are a few after market rag tops out there, but
I feel the
quality is poor. Besides, installing an original
sunroof leaves you with original parts that are
replaceable. If
your after market sunroof manufacturer goes out of business, you're in trouble.

followed the instructions from an article in the June 1998
addition of VW Trends. This addition
is out of print so if you
can't find it I'll e-mail you a copy.
