Built to Last
Engineered for Any Condition.
From Arizona sun to Colorado hail — every DaShield cover is pressure-tested before it ships.
Why this vehicle needs the right cover
The Volkswagen Beetle ran for 65 years across three completely different body platforms — the air-cooled Type 1 (1938–2003), the Golf-based New Beetle (1998–2010), and the flat-roofline A5 Beetle (2011–2019). These are not the same car. The Type 1 sits at approximately 160 inches in overall length with a 59-inch roof height. The New Beetle stretches to 168 inches with a 60.9-inch dome profile. The A5 Beetle matches the New Beetle in length but sits 3.3 inches lower at the roofline — a sportback shape that will not accept a New Beetle cover pattern without tenting and gap.
Our cover patterns are fitted per generation. The Type 1's narrow track, separate fender pods, and rounded roof arc require a pattern distinct from the Golf-platform cars. If you own a classic air-cooled Type 1 — particularly a Cal Look or restomod build with specialist paint — the fabric choice matters as much as the fit. Single-stage lacquer and enamel finishes have no clear coat layer for protection. We address that with generation-matched fitment and fabric options appropriate for both outdoor protection and indoor show-car storage.
Volkswagen Beetle cover priorities
Engineered for the Volkswagen Beetle
Generation-specific fit — not a universal "Beetle cover"
The Type 1, New Beetle, and A5 Beetle differ in overall length, roof height, body width, and contour at every major panel. A cover pattern cut for one of these three vehicles will droop, pull, or abrade on either of the other two. We fit by generation because the body demands it — not as a marketing distinction. The Type 1's rounded roof arc and separate fender pods require a pattern profile that no modern Beetle generation uses.
Ultimum for outdoor protection ($209, Lifetime warranty)
Multi-layer woven construction provides UV blocking at the fabric level, sheds water and acidic bird droppings, and breathes to prevent moisture trapping against the body. The Lifetime warranty covers the vehicle as long as you own it. This is the right choice for any Beetle generation stored outdoors — including air-cooled Type 1 builds with lacquer or single-stage enamel paint that have no modern clear coat protection.
SoftTec Satin for indoor classic storage
The Type 1 collector who keeps a show-condition Beetle in a climate-controlled garage needs a different solution than outdoor woven fabric. SoftTec Satin's stretch construction conforms to the Type 1's rounded roof arc and fender pod contours without stress points. The non-abrasive inner surface will not scratch or micro-mar single-stage lacquer during installation or removal. Rated for indoor use only, 1-year warranty — the correct tool for concours prep and show-season storage.
Designed in Buena Park, California. Every cover is matched to the generation you actually own.
