You may be in luck depending on your situation. Check out this eBay ad which happens to be in Vancouver, Washington.
This 412 has a roof rack, and there might be other parts you can use or sell. It is also a Best Offer ad, so it wouldn't cost anything to throw a low ball offer or two at him.
He does have a negative feedback and at least two neutrals. You can make up your own mind whether the negative is a red flag or not. I have no idea who the seller is. I just stumbled onto it while doing my normal search patterns.

Heck, that's half of the Buy It Now price right there, and the original poster is in the same state (although it is a big state).

Damn thing sold in less than 8 hours. Pretty good sign that I should have asked for more..  |
IMHO based on past sales:
If you got one email - maybe, maybe not.
If you got 5+ emails instantly - yes.

That is a cool rack that I have never seen before.

It is not "special aircooled" or "special VW 411".
I guess it is an universal rack from 70th/ 80th. Bought it for 20 bucks in a thrift shop.

4 e-mails and 6 phone calls in that 8 hours. It crossed my mind right then that I didn't ask enough but I wasn't going to up the price, I just held firm on it.

This rack has 4" of taper front to rear for a perfect fit on a Type 3 squareback. I've never measured a Type 4 roof to know if they are the same? I shipped it to SoCal for $250.

I am now the official owner of that rack (and the car underneath it). I have taken it off the car and gave it one round of cleaning. It needs another. If someone wants this, let me know.

So, list it For Sale with a price in the Classifieds here. It will also fit a Type 3 squareback.

I am looking for a picture of an OEM accessory roof rack on a real car. See the below pictures for an illustrated version.
Does anyone have a picture they could post of the OEM roof rack accessory mounted on a real 412? I am hoping to have a reproduction version manufactured. A picture would really help. Dimensions would help even more so.

Looking for some input. How do I take this roof rack off to make the roof water tight? I think I may have a couple of rust holes however the roof rack is installed. I have Haynes manual but it doesn’t show how to remove it. The vinyl in the ceiling is in good condition so I don’t want to try to remove that if I don’t need to.
