I'm after some advise on what year range of beetles would have the same roof shape/profile as a 57?
I am looking to replate an aftermarket ragtop hole in my 57. The hole is larger than for a standard ragtop, and finishes about 200mm from the rear window.
I would like to know what year range donor beetles are suitable.
Any advise greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
LM

Looks like you need a rear beaver panel as well
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true
