Removing 1/4 windows
Volkstang - June 3rd, 2010 at 09:49 AM

I am thinking or removing the 1/4 windows on my 59 and running a full size door glass, is it easy to do? (Both my sets of 1/4 windows are too rusty to use)

Does the glass and upper door trim/felts/wipers/regulators from a super beetle fit into a early door without too many mods?

I might want to go back to 1/4s in the future?

NO not easy to do job at all :dork::dork:

and you carnt go back once you have changed as it requires cutting some of the inner channel away

No, my car/s are all apart. (3 parts cars going into 1) Only just getting my final parts ready to go together

Is there a kit you can buy for one piece windows in old doors?

I don't see why you would want to do it, quarter vent windows are awesome! And unless you fit a decent fan-powered demister, you need them to defog the front windscreen.

yeah i dont C why either 1/4 windows r the best

yes there used to be kit but i dont think anyone is doing them anymore due to cost and time involved in instalation

stay with the 1/4s

You can get kits but make sure the glass is stamped as safety glass and it comes with twin lift regulators.
Also try to get clip in scrapers as the glue in ones are crap.
