Hi there

I need a replacement front windscreen for my 70 Ghia. I've been told there's 2 types of windscreens: Type 1 and Type 2.

How can I find out which type fits my Ghia?

Thanks

The glass for your car is 5mm smaller all round than an early car, the rubber is thinner also.

I believe the sizes differ 56-66.5 (larger glass) 66.5-74 smaller glass
