One piece window operations???
I have a 68 beetle that before i became the proud owner, was installed with one piece windows. my question is are they ment to work like shit! or has
there been some short cuts taken to graft them in to my oil dripper?
*they dont wind up straight
*they have to be pushed against so they close correctly at the top
* LH side regulater seems to make grind type noise when winding up and down(maybe stuffed regulator)
any info regarding this would be great! I am thinking that the 2
piece bailey channels have been kept and causing some issues.
once again any info or help would be greatly appreciated
cheers Mick. :thumb |

I had one piece windows in a beetle some time ago, and they never worked that well either. (I didnt fit them) But mine had the twin lift regulator
which works better fall the extra weight of glass at the front.

Put the NORMAL ones back in.
One piece LOOK good - but............
Yes you need the twin lift to get any real action to work properly.
There is a good article in the Tech Section of SBO that has a few helpful hints.
I LOVE the look of them but quater vents are great and they dont leak!

Work fine
I have them in my 76 and they work perfect.
But Let me tell you there is a lot of work to set them up so that they work like this.

I've put in one peice widows in my 68 but I made a new channel for the window to sit in. It covers about 75% of the full window length and works
a treat. The only problem I have is the air flow. The quarter windows worked great at getting some cool air in during summer.
