Please tell me they do, I found a left door on here but it was bought for a 58 so Im not sure.

What is the difference with a door for a 1970 model beetle ?
No chance huh?😀

Help anyone ?

I know that some Beetles have the side body moulds/ trims in different positions. Some earlier have different door handles eg. pull type or button type.
Our beetle is a 1970 and when I got another door I had to get another post 1968 door so the quarter window and winders, locks etc would all change over as they are all different.
The door I got may have been an L-Bug as the mould holes were about 20mm different height.

The door shapes changed in late 67 early 68.
The ones with the petrol cap in the front quarter panel.

Any door from late 55 i think, should fit up till early 67
