No worries..thanks..Its something that I haven't bother to chase up for years.The wifes car has been in storage for 7 years. Last time I asked a windscreen replacement company the salesman wasn't that helpful..perhaps he was the exception and not the rule. Atleast thats some good news..one less headache to deal with during this current part-resto!.

Hmm, I wonder, anyone seen any new L bug windscreens?
They're the curved ones, may be a little more difficult to source?

Sorry to hijack the thread snitz!

Hi
if its an original windscreen it will be safety glass that shatters on impact with a head etc...

I bought Mine in 2005 from Koala Glass...

they may only have them listed as one model...

1968 model which fits all beetles up to including the 1976 model
[excluding the L 1303 Beetle]

so they may say they don't have a 1970 model windscreen...
but may have a 71-72 superbug windscreen
which is the same...

Also they are NOT flat glass so cannot be cut out.. lol

If any problems I'm sure some of the VW shops would have them... like VVDS ..

make sure you fit a new rubber as well or it will leak
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true
