beetle rear window size
Hi, i have a problem, i bought a window seal kit for a 69 T1, my bug is a 74 T1, and the rear window is larger, so i got a larger seal but it is to
big. Question is what the heck have i got.

65-71 then 71-77 std Bug and 71-72 Super Bug (1302). Then 73-77 for the 1303 Super Bug only.
So maybe you got sent the later Super Bug seal isn't of that meant for a std torsion beam bug.

there are 2 window sizes in aussie 12 volt Beetles, up to 71 and 72 on, having a billy cart front end or a superior front end has no affect on the
rear window size
