I think ISP West may of had some at one stage. Not sure. There was some discussion about it on the Samba forums earlier this year. Could be worth a try

YIKES

they were fairly rare in Australian fastbacks

maybe common in the USA or Europe???

when they were in a fastback being tested in a magazine

it was always mentioned about the glass pop outs that doesn't have hinges .. the glass bends....!!!

best of Luck

I just got a set of rubbers for my square back pop outs from vintage. Not sure if he's got any for a fastie. Worth a try.

fasty are quite different to square and notch in the way the rubber attaches directly to the frame of the car


I have a complete set of fasty popouts with good rubbers if you get stuck sing out, I'm away for a week or so,
make sure you keep the nuts on yours when you undo them from the frame...

cheers Ben

hi Matty, i have done both sides on my 1970 fasty recently, there are a few things to look out for before you start and the steel frame inside the rubber can be very rusted. you wont know this until you get the window and rubber assembly out. There are 4 x 7mm hex nuts that hold the steel window frame into the body and you will have to peel the rubber back from the inside of the car to find them. you wont get the windows out without removing these nuts. sneaky #@$%&'s. feel free to buzz me if you want, as you would definately benefit from my "experience" on this job. 0430204051 John.
