Hi people, I live in Bellingham, WA and have a 1981 Rabbit ragtop, which I'm currently putting a new top on (including headliner and pad). I found this site while looking for instructions for this project. Thanks for bieng here!!

Your welcome, as I just did a new pad last week, I may have answers for you. Welcome to cabbyhood, and all that it comes to mind.

Pics of your ride as before and after are always good before the Pic Police let you know.

I don't know that I have pics before the project started, but I will post some with the old top partially removed and going forward. Thx.

Welcome. In-progress pics are always good. Bellingham huh? A buddy of mine used to be stationed up there when he was in the Navy, he liked the area a lot.

Yeah, went to Oak Harbor HS... most of my old friends are Navy brats, or retired (class of '82) :P I'm still looking for my camera, my 18Y/o daughter had it last...go figure. It's a white/white '81 Rabbit Convertible w/110k on it in perfect shape. Baught it for her, but her Mom wanted airbags and I can't fault her, so it's mine I guess.

I've been a VW guy for 30 years. Had bugs, microvans and Rabbits, both gas and diesel, and old Porsches... never done top before, though.
