Hi all.
I am after a useable pair of doors for my beetle with one piece windows that are already installed and working. Must fit 1967 and older beetles. Cash buyer. Sydney preferred. I can be contacted via SMS anytime on 0433248897
Regards, Ali.

I have one piece glass and want to convert to 2 piece.
One regulator isn't working but otherwise good. I don't want to swap doors as mine are painted but can exchange parts.

Otherwise id be keen for your door parts.

Its not that simple to go back to 2 piece windows,they cut alot of the inside of the door where the flipper window fits to make room for the one piece glass,you are better of changing the doors because you have to weld it all back in for the flipper window to work anyway ???

Oh really, thanks for the bad news, better to know now!
I guess I better get some doors and live with one piece. I was looking at some door shells on weekend wondering if I could buy the metal frame the seal sits in that mine doesn't have. Are the doors same 58-67?

58 have different outer door handles but you can use early 60s doors,if you want original 58 door handles you weld up the small hole where the handle hooks in.

I know it's not quite what you're looking for, but if it's any use at all I have a pair of doors with single piece windows in - the doors are really badly rusted and not useable, but the windows are ok ...
