barls - August 8th, 2004 at 09:26 AM

just a couple of questions
1. do late pop out windows fit my 72 sbug?
2. where do i aquire these items?
3. whats a average price for them?
4. how hard are they to install?

in answer to your questions...


1 yes they will fit

2 hunt them down, there was some for sale on this forum a little while ago, mite still be there

3 price can be all over the place... anywhere from a 100 to 600 bucks

4 easy to fit to the car. If you are fitting all new rubbers to the pop outs not so easy and bloody time consuming.

thanks i know empi has some for sale on here but i wasnt sure if it was a good price
ill keep looking

price really comes down to how much you want to pay. they are getting harder and harder to find these days but there are companys the make repo ones in a few different styles. the cheapest being a more modern style with a window rubber and a flat glass pushed up against it(like new cars) and the most expensive being a copy of the real ones....

thanks for all this info now ill go and digest it and decide if i want to do it or not. it may be a down the track thing like a few other ideas i have.

I bought a few sets of late ones back from the US, they sold for $350.00 a set with all new rubbers, hinges and covers. I sold the last set at Nambucca.
