beetle rear window size
DIGGER69 - June 24th, 2016 at 07:44 PM

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. :crazy:

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.

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 :(
