Hi, i have a problem, i bought a window seal kit for a 69 T1, my bug is a 74 T1, and the rear window is larger, so i got a larger seal but it is to big. Question is what the heck have i got. 🤪

65-71 then 71-77 std Bug and 71-72 Super Bug (1302). Then 73-77 for the 1303 Super Bug only.

So maybe you got sent the later Super Bug seal isn't of that meant for a std torsion beam bug.
madness is in the eye of the beholder 👍

there are 2 window sizes in aussie 12 volt Beetles, up to 71 and 72 on, having a billy cart front end or a superior front end has no affect on the rear window size

cheers for that, i got my new 69 seal to fit but it was tight and the glass is 50mm bigger, i hope by streaching the seal it still seals ok 🙁
