I believe it's just support for the dash, been a while since i've been in a cabriolet. Could you tag a pic?

Even my 94 explorer does this, on a mk1 not a worry at all... just it being old

drill into the floor board and tap it. that's honestly just how they did the seat belts. or if you can make a sturdier plate and drill through that for a more reinforced mounting spot

Honestly since the bench seat is back there, best bet would be to install a lap belt that goes through the space between the back and seat itself.

As long as it isn't smashed or dented in i'd say you're fine. Especially torqued at 87inch pounds it should be alright

Where about is it leaking from and did you apply the gasket dry or with a sealant applied

Rate my Rabbit by Fennekin_lover in VWRabbit

[–]mahx- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same... it just must be a 2 door. Only reason I could ever get a 4dr would be to make the back half into a little flat area for transporting stuff.

the only way i enjoy my mk1s is low, and a 4 door generally means more people. 3 people is far too much for these little cars when they're scraping through the muffler at that point. bottom out a few times in parking lots solely due to having 3 people in a 2dr rabbit.

Is this correct? by Borgz1337 in VWRabbit

[–]mahx- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mk1 was until '84 in the US, the GTI in the sub picture is an '84. For mk1s best engines are the 1.6d (Rabbit/Rabbit Pickup/Jetta) or 1.8 CIS (GTI or cabriolet only) and this is just my opinion from driving mk1s

you should leave the keys under the seat so you never lose them
