Be sure to check the Samba classifieds for a hatch for sale.� You might find one that is right on your route.� Also, you can advertise for one wanted and put your cell # in there in case someone contacts you en route.� Good luck!

Well, I hoped I'd never be in this position, but I managed to muck up my
rear hatch. It's an 83.5, mine could certainly be repaired but I'd rather
trade it and let someone else do the banging.

I'm in sarasota, fl but I'm aboutTo go on tour (in another vehicle) for 2
weeks to new york and back, so I could pick one up anywhere on the east
coast.

And by the way, I'm trying to be real optimistic about finding a replacement
but please let me know if it's a foolish quest.

Thanks a lot in advance, list.
