Chrome or black?
Bert Knupp
Okay, Y’all,
I’m putting a 1972 SuperBeetle back together. Somehow, I’ve ended up with two rear cover latches. So which is the correct pushbutton latch for the engine hood, a chrome button or a black button? Since it’s USA model, neither one has a lock.
Ditto for the “crescent” vents behind the rear quarter windows: I have both black and chrome. Which was correct on the 1972? (It’s Texas Yellow, if that makes any difference, which it probably doesn’t.)

Thanks, Mike. Not sure when they switched over to black plastic buttons for the USA engine compartments. I’ll go with the chrome.
I just ordered two plastic crescent vent grilles from WCM. I’ll just use whatever they ship. They do a good job.

Bert,
My 72 std. Beetle is stock as it has been in the family since new and we have done all restoration on it. The rear decklid on mine is chrome and the crescent shaped vents are black plastic with shiny aluminum trim pieces. i can take pics if that would help.
