VW New Beetle Spare Tire Screw Knob
Shared by
3DPrintedCarPartDescription
Note: the original file will need to have the bolt pressed in with a vise. The wider one should work as described below. This is the knob that holds down the spare tire in a new beetle. I'm not sure about the years this will work on, but mine's an '04, so probably at least '98 to '04? The knob has a tapered wall before the hole for the bolt's head to retain the bolt. I made this a remix of pavel's knob because they were here first. Had I known their model was online, I probably would have just printed theirs. I like mine better simply because I think it matches the original better and because it's my own. However if this model doesn't work, check out theirs and see if it fits.
