Beetle glass

I do understand that the front and rear windscreen of an oval is significantly smaller than later 60's models.. but what about later 60's models? does the glass size or shape change.

I enquire as i would like to put full glass in the doors of my oval and was curious if i would have any trouble just fitting late model glass.

The windscreen & rear window glass got larger in 1958..... and was the same until 1968 in Australia...

so the glass of a 58 beetle was the same until >1968...

So can you still order windscreen glass for a '54 oval? Does it have to be fitted on the car?

Ok... but there was no "factory" full glass beofre 1968? correct?

I would keep it old school Corey

keep the look mate

An Oval windscreen is just flat laminated glass...
You may have to order it in.....

I paid $110 for My laminated windscreen for My 68 Beetle.
I did have the original Safety glass windscreen.. that shatters on impact of a large rock or something.... but I wouldn't use it....

I went thru a safety glass windscreen back in the late 60s
before seat belts..... I was picking bits of glass out of my head for about 3 years.... besides having stitchers in My forehead.....

I believe Safety glass windscreens are now illegal....
the rest of the glass is safety glass.....

Keep the original look please, its a 54 ferchrissake !

And beetles never came with 'full glass', or one piece door windows from the factory.

I thought really really old beetles from the 40's had one piece door glass?

correct helbus
52 and earlier bugs have 1 piece windows
