How it works
Your switch has an air valve on the back for the old pressurized washer bottle. The Q-LO adapter replaces that valve with a small push button. When you press the factory knob, the button switches a 12 V relay, and the relay runs an electric washer pump. No new dash holes and no extra switch are needed.

Will it fit my car?
The kit fits the two-speed wiper switch 141 955 517, the one with the air (pneumatic) washer valve on the back. That switch was used on:

- 1962–1967 Karmann Ghia
- 1962–1967 VW Type 3
- 1968–1972 VW Type 2 Bus
The 1968–71 Beetle switch looks similar but hasn't been tested yet.
