Hi so on the way home a rock hit my windscreen and cracked the shit outta it! Will need a new one... or someones second hand one!! Needs to fit a 59model
Cheers, Tristan

Windscreens obrian Muswellbrook can get them. Is a 59 the same as 64? If so new laminated for $280 from memory

I am pretty sure that there is one in my Mum's shed in Taree,I will check tomorrow. If interested please pm me.

Yes
59 model is the same as a 65 beetle.. up to 1967
they got larger again in 1968..

old windscreens are usually the heat treated safety glass that was mandatory for early cars [as no seat belts meant going thru the windscreen in a bigsmash]
{ I went thru a 63 holden windscreen about 1968]

they just completely shatter and if You are going fast or the rock was big, the shattered glass goes all over YOU..
and they cut everything they hit too... lol
just about every service station carried spare windscreens back in the 50s and 60s.. until laminated ones were available..

I took My original windscreen out and replaced it with a new laminated one..

Not sure where You are...
I bought it from Koala glass at Sandgate NSW
a few years ago now...
You will probably have to order it in wherever You buy it from

cheers

New laminated is $140
Don't skimp on safety

Good Price

Mine cost about $100 in 2005 [for 68 beetle] NOT FITTED

so that IS excellent...

where are You located? or these windscreens at?

safety glass windscreens are illegal in NSW unless that is all that is available.. but seeing these are flat glass...

I've never been able to work out whether the safety glass windscreens where in fact harder glass than the laminated glass as they chip or crack very easily...

[but they don't disintergrate in front of Your eyes] lol

Hmm tarree 2.15hours away... probably cost me 60-80$ at least to drive there iam down in redhead. Might as well shell out 140 for a laminated one, unless someone has something closer(poor student

he comes past quite often mainly on his way to sydney. pm him and see if he has one. he only got home today though.

Sweet that would be perfect! thanks
