Ragtop roof repair for 57 Oval Beetle
LuftMann - June 11th, 2017 at 09:34 AM

I'm after some advise on what year range of beetles would have the same roof shape/profile as a 57?
I am looking to replate an aftermarket ragtop hole in my 57. The hole is larger than for a standard ragtop, and finishes about 200mm from the rear window.
I would like to know what year range donor beetles are suitable.
Any advise greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
LM
