I believe the later models did not have the steel nails holding down the pan to
body seal.
I saw a project Super bug circa 1975 at a bodyshop locally and noticed it
was missing the nail holes. The guy said these did not come with the nails like
the earlier models. Wonder what the factory used to hold the seal in place?
Not sure if there was truth in his statement. Anyone can shed more light
here please?

I would not use silicone as it does not react well with metal overtime. I have
always used a urethane based caulking. Seam Sealer is based on urethane, they
use urethane to glue in windows.

Subject: [vintagvw] Attaching a pan seal
As I start to finally reassemble my '70 standard bug which suffered from a
terminal case of frame head rot I was wondering if there was a better way to
attach the pan seal.
I know the factory used the small nails but would a good bead of RTV or seam
sealer hold it in place just as well without poking new holes in the newly
painted pan?
Anyone used something different? Nick Stokes
