25 october 2024 - NEW

What a week it was. 
 First Bob was in Taiwan.

Spamming us daily with the running SWT projects.
We also received several containers. 

Containing long awaited backorders, 
but also a crazy list of new products.

We will present all of them in the coming weeks, 
starting today. 

Welcome to BBT NEWS.
Let's talk about the air flap for your bay window fresh air system in the front panel.
We bring you the rubbers to ensure a good seal of these air valves and the control rod.

The rubber around the flap often becomes hard, crumbles, or simply disappears.
This allows cold driving wind and rain water to enter when closed.

This surrounding rubber is glued to the valve and sold individually.
Two are needed per car.

Next is the harmonica rubber that sits over the operating rod. 
The rod goes from the lever on the dashboard to the flap.

This "harmonica rubber" allows enough room to operate the rod while still sealing properly.
Sold individually.

Up to 07/76 you need two per car, from 08/76-07/79 only one.

04/50 through 09/52 split window Beetles doors have loose metal window channels.
These channels guide your door window as it rolls up and down. 

The front is a large, curved channel that also serves to close the window at the top.
The straight one sits on the back of your door.

Both have a felt-covered rubber U-channel inside.
The whole combination ensures smooth operation.

Securing a good closing.
Keeps the elements out of your car. 

Unfortunately, the steel frames are corrosive sensitive, 
felt and rubber have aged too much over time. 

Simply bad and too often beyond repair. 
So many people have suffered in search of new ones. 

Not anymore.
BBT offers you a complete brand new set of window channel.

Steel frames, rubber and felt. 
All you need for one car, two doors.

So now you can restore these split window Beetle window channels to their original state.

We had the largest delivery of SWT panels ever.
This filled a lot of back orders. 

Other containers also came in.
Our website looked almost like a Christmas tree with all the green lights back on. 

We're in the process of increasing our inventory (again).
World tensions and wars only increase our delivery times.

This makes us stock more.
To continue to provide the service you deserve. 

Let us give you some highlights that came in again.
The BBT News Team wishes you a happy weekend. 
Stay tuned for many more new products and multi arrivals.
