That looks superb! Excuse my ignorance - although I love old VWs I'm not up on all the lingo! What is a "crotch cooler rag top"? :shock:

I'm in the office today, it's looking like it will be hot so I'm in shorts (our air-con is cwap!), and the idea of a "crotch cooler" sounds tempting... 8)

However, to answer your questions.

Ragtop refers to the sunroof and crotch coolers are these little babies.
