All I know is that there was
- 3 fold and 2 fold versions, thats the folds whenthe roof is slid open.

- round corners and square corners - think that 55 was the square corner one

- full aluminium runners and part alumium and part plastic runners

- solid handle and poviting handle

What years these applied to I have NFI:bounce

What Dean said is pretty right. I have a 56 and 65 with roofs.

What is it exactly your after

If your going to but one make sure its complete with all the bits. Parts for them are bloody hard to find.

WCM or VVDS ( opps i shouldnt have said that ) have a roller kit available for the tracks and that about the only bits still available new. also some shops have the vinal roof cover available

The pre 55 square corners roofs are ven harder to find. I saw one at the VW Classic in LAX sell for $800 USD a few years ago

That car that Bocka64 had for sale with the roof at $1500 was not a bad buy, i would have fixed the car rather that cutting the roof n grafting it to another body. I think he still has it available if you can get in contact with him.
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true
