Got a classic Volkswagen Beetle, Bus, Thing, or Karmann Ghia sitting in your driveway? Well, you probably already know how tough it is to source factory-correct parts—especially when it comes to the interior.

And nowhere is that more evident than the shift knob. After miles and decades of use, old VW shift knobs tend to get nicked and scuffed, and any graphic embellishment often fades to the point it’s barely visible.

That’s when the VW experts at KaferLab beteiligen sie sich am gespräch…err…enter the chat.

It’s also worth mentioning that they’ve got some slick-looking custom knobs that’ll look great in your VW-powered dune buggy or kit car too. They’re offered in several common shifter thread patterns and you’ve got options for aluminum and plastic knobs too.

All told, if you’re tired of reaching for that damaged, old, or missing shift knob, let the VW experts over at KaferLab set you up with a new one.
