Beetle Roof Rack - Silver Frame With Wooden Slats

Add timeless vintage style and practical storage to your classic Beetle with this silver powder coated roof rack, designed to fit all aircooled VW Beetles from 1949 to 1979, including 1302, 1303, and Mexican Beetles. This rack captures the iconic look of the era while offering real-world utility for road trips, show displays, or everyday use.

Constructed with a durable steel frame finished in a high-quality silver powder coat, the rack is both weather-resistant and visually appealing. It features authentic wooden slats, giving your VW a truly classic look that complements its original curves and character.

Supplied as a flat-pack kit, the roof rack is easy to assemble and fits directly to the Beetle’s factory rain gutters with no modifications required. It is not compatible with modern watercooled Beetles, as their roof contour differs significantly from the classic shape.
