The Hood of the Volkswagen Beetle is a durable shield that ensures that the engine bay is kept clean and dry, and is easy to access without any hassles when checking the engine components. Made of stamped steel on older models and of lightweight aluminum or fiberglass on newer models, this Hood offers a combination of durability and weight reduction, a feature that enables the car to accelerate a bit faster and extract more mileage out of each gallon of gas. Specially designed crumple areas through the panel absorb energy during a collision, which provides an extra layer of front-end safety that can be relied on by the driver. Its clean primer finish accepts custom paint to ensure that owners match the factory paint and retain the iconic curved nose that has made the Beetle shape one that is easily recognized over the decades. Fitted to both the 1960s air-cooled icon and modern turbocharged convertible, the panel, which is made with durable hinges, has common points of fixation across generations, and therefore, it is simple to replace and fits typical two-door Beetle bodies. It is held together with a simple interior release and is connected to a positive-locking latch to maintain it closed on rough roads and a reliable prop rod or gas strut to maintain it open, so that oil checks and belt inspections can be made quickly, depending on the experience of the user. The Hood also prevents wiring and cooling component damage by keeping the engine dry and ensuring that rain, salt, and flying gravel are kept out, thus minimizing chances of breakdowns and helping the car gain a reputation of durability. Even tiny details like corrosion-resistant paint and aerodynamic curves distinguish this panel in the compact car industry, as it goes to show that one body part can make a lot of difference in the performance, efficiency, and daily peace of mind among fans of Volkswagen.
