Expect to pay approx AU$500 for a pair of complete good condition early popouts. You can get them cheaper but make sure you ensure the latches are there as these are almost impossible to find seperately. Keep an eye out on ebaymotors.com and thesamba.com - they come up every now and again.

Yep, late model ones can be had for $200 plus...but the earlies are exy. I'd hate to imagine what the split ones (Solid aluminium frames) go for!!!

You may be lucky but if you get a pair for under $500 consider it a good deal. :blush

Jim, I think so!!

The ones listed on Ebay Australia are late ones, the seller is saying they didn't fit his '72 Bug so he is selling them as early ones, there is going to be one very disappointed Ebay buyer when they go to fit them in a early Bug!

Ask how tall they are as early windows the glass is about 290mm.
I`m sure they are late model due to the latches fitted to the glass and not the frame.

Dave, how scratched are they? Have you got/ can you take pics for me? Have they got good inner seals?

Thanks Mate, Nectar.

Excellent work, that is much cheaper than I envisaged (and cheaper than I had to pay!!).....Dave's sound like an awesome deal.

Well done, when I was looking I couldn't find a set under $400 no matter where I looked. Good stuff.

the ones currently on ebay australia are 290mm, so I guess
they will fit early beetles.starting price is $100 with no bids as yet.

I think they are easy to tell apart as the early windows have the latch attached to the glass and the late windows have the latch attached to the frame, Or is that the other way round?:P
I bought a set in Memphis for Herbie for........ Wait for it............. Did I mention they were earlys?...............complete with latches.........How much would you expect to pay?............but wait, dont answer, you also get a free waterpump and a set of steak knives, for...........Drum roll continues.............Fifty Bucks.
And I will sell them to you for $20, ..... Incredible you say? thats right exclusive offer here folks just $20, thats all you pay, 100 easy payments of $20.........:duh

Actually, Daves offer, above, sounds quite reasonable for such a rare commodity.

As Dave said above, these ones on ebay are for late model beetles (eg. late 60s like 1968 etc) that have the large rear 1/4 windows. They will DEFINITELY NOT fit an early 60s beetle.

As stated above the latch attaches through the glass on the late ones....but attaches to the frame on the early ones.

I have emailed the seller to ensure he knows this as someone may very well get pretty pi$$ed off (I know this happenned to my mate when he bought a pair of "early" popouts off thesamba...which turned out to be late ones). :cussing

Not sure why they don't fit his 74 as I thought these had the same size rear 1/4 windows as a late 60s beetle...but I am certainly no expert on these later models. The frames are supposed to be smaller than the opening (but not smaller than the inner lip that the pinch welt attaches to) as the rubber is what seals against the body....maybe he thought the frames should sit outside the opening. I don't know whats going on there...

All I can say though is that they will definitely not fit an early 60s beetle

I think iam going to have to be a non paying bidder on the
windows as I strongly suspect they will not fit early beetles

dont do that....you have bought them, so pay for them, its not the sellers fault. At least tell the seller what happened, and maybe send them a few bucks for the stuff around! you must remember that 65 and later bugs in the us, have the larger sized windows....
