Wow! Didn't know they existed.
I want one for mine now, too!
Where were they fitted?
Can anyone post a picture of one fitted?

Definitely factory
there were 2 sorts - with and without the 2nd hand
One is rare as and one is not
Pretty sure the with is the rare one as mine didnt have one
Took me a few years to find mine at a Bad Buggers Show day at Penrith
German eBay would be your friend or occasionally SBO
Futue te ipsum!!!

They were fairly common in the late 70s US cabrios so there is always a few forsale on thesamba classifieds.
3 on there at the moment, all around $140-150 mark so you would have to want one pretty bad, only 1 has a second hand.

and Heated rear window, the car must have been a run out with all the bells and whistles fitted.

Very cool mate, mine was built 4/75 but is a '74 model, no rack & pinion steering. Seeing as we both are in Melbourne I would love to catch up
and check out your Bug one day.

If it's an Aussie built Lbug that stuff has been added by a PO, it was never offered here.
Got a pic of your compliance plate?
Theres a few Jap import Lbugs getting around Oz that have that stuff standard.

My uncle who worked for VW at that period informs me that they were factory fitted. The Car is Australian Compliance, pics are attached, The fog is no
longer present, but driving lights and heated rear window are.

all wiring to lights was not connected, but when all was connect it all works as it should, Driving lights come on with high beam and go off when low
beam is on, when connected fog light (bracket still present on lower side of front bumper) it only worked when low beam was on and went off when high
beam come on, as it should, there is also original wiring that is present that works for a rear fog that is no longer present.

ah yeah I've seen that bug on ebay or gumtree.
Its had a owner who obviously collected overseas parts, the rear defrost switch is from a Mk1 Golf not an Lbug, thats why the symbol is upside down
Things like the clock, foglight switches and 1303 badge was never used in Aus, but easy enough to find on ebay etc I;ve managed to find them for mine
too,
The rubber strps on the bumper were standard on Aus 75 and 76 models.

the 1303 badge the previous guy added, clock is dated 3/75 which checks as to when it would have been made.

VW didn't half arse things,
if a 1303 left the factory with a heated rear window it had the proper 1303 switch with icon the right way up.
If someone just bought a heated rear window and chucked it in later on in life (which is not uncommon) the mk1 Golf switches are much easier to find
in Aus.
THe pilot lights in them power off the switch, they work when the switch has power and is turned on,
The clocks like yours with the second hand were only made for the first few years of 1303 production, the second hand was dropped because of how much
it drained the battery so its not usuaul to see those style with 73-75 dates on them.
it probably came from the same bug that donated its 1303 badge

its a big job to fit the heated rear window being that the wiring runs in a not so easy to get to place, and the original roof lining is still in
place. the switch very well could have been replaced at some point.
