Early Karmann Ghia convertible use a front central handle to lock your convertible top.
Many times this handle is hanging down.
The internal spring mess up the internal mechanism.
Or worse just brake the handle near the pivoting point.
BBT brings you the perfect solution with a new handle.
Our handles have a reinforced pivoting system .
This holds up your handle so much better.
Later model Ghia's use the same latch as late beetles
