Four Pieces, Wood
VW Convertibles, mid 1975-1979
Your chassis number should be 1552012218 or higher.
Note:Inserts take the shape of the rear window steel frame.
If your steel frame is distorted then when it is stapled into
the back of the top it will be mismatched with
the glass window. We strongly recommend either a careful
reshaping of your steel rear window frame, or the use of a
new rigid unit which we offer that will minimize
any grief associated with the installation of the rear window glass.
The convertible rear window frame is made of steel with an attached tacking form all around.
We urge the convertible restorer to read the restoration tip below concerning the convertible rear windows.
If the steel frame is in perfect condition you can purchase, and attach a new plastic tacking form. However, we strongly recommend that you consider the complete rear window frame with the wood already attached to its metal frame, as a unit ready to apply to the new top.
Any rear window frame and glass may be installed in any new top, regardless of year!
