As per title

need the glass, and reg - as well as the divider between main and vent window,


complete door would help - but don't need the shell so rust in the bottom of the door is not an issue as long as reg mech etc is ok...!

cheers Ben

i dunno...?

ribbed door opening is obviously smaller - as is the door card so i wondered if the mech etc was in someway different...?

guess the 1/4 window is the same size...?

did the size change after 56/7 aswell? or is the same 1/4 and main glass all the way through to 67...?

quarters should be the same up to 67, i had a thought that an oval window mech might be 2 bolt and later 4, but its been a while since i have looked at a beetle!!! There will be 3 type 3s at my place tomorrow!!! it seems to be type 3 city at my place atm. Call Rick.

54 is different to all ovals. I'll see what I have.

The 1/4 window is the same except the shaft up to mid-55 was shorter and the locking mechanism a little bit different. You can cut a post-mid 55 1/4 to fit.
The window winder mechanism should be the same, but the handles are ribbed.
Door frames are different after mid-55, and not interchangeable.
Outside door handles up to mid-55 have that longer actuator finger.
Inside door handles are also ribbed up to mid-55.
After about 56-ish the internal locking mechanism was swapped to the drivers side.
I need to get outside more.

I know where there is a NOS ribbed drivers side door - fella picked it up from the dealer in Toowoomba when it shut down, and he has stored it carefully in his shed ever since! (and no you can't have it)

The interior of early and pre 55 is completely different
Allso the divider of quarter and main window is a lot longer and as far as i know the quarter window is actually a different size but not 100% on that
I have modified a ;later winder mech for my doors but needed cutting and welding and doesnt work 100% (the lift is not the same)

So I also wouldnt mind to replace my bodgeup with the original mechanism
cheers
