Billet Aluminium Bonnet Release Cable Knob for Beetle / Karmann Ghia
What does this part do on a VW?
This billet aluminium knob replaces the original plastic or Bakelite bonnet (front luggage lid) release pull knob found on classic air-cooled Volkswagen Beetles and Karmann Ghia models. It attaches to the bonnet release cable inside the vehicle (typically glovebox or dash-mounted depending on year) and provides a durable, upgraded grip for operating the bonnet release mechanism. It is mainly used as a styling and reliability upgrade, improving both appearance and longevity compared to factory plastic knobs.
