Can the traverse be used as a jack point?
It looks like it's strong enough....
Anybody done this yet? I need that jack point back there! Even if it might mess up the new finish....;) http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/1360134.jpg |
Strong enough I guess, you could bolt on a steel plate where the jack would touch it to preserve it

Steve,
Have you jacked your car up this way? Seen anyone who has? Scary..... |
No I haven't but I'm sure somebody has, I have solid piece metal that I use, you can see it near the Porsche mount that I use to jack the car with

An excellent way to do it - make an alternate jack point.
I have a heavy type 3, and if that traverse bent I would cry real tears.. |
I've made jacking points out of a hockey puck and an exhaust clamp:

So I had to have an alternative. This method might be a bit more difficult if you beetle is equiped with a rear swaybar. |
