VW Beetle and VW Super Beetle convertible. mid 1975-1979
If your car chassis number is 1552012218 or higher
then your convertible rear window glass will be
mid 1975 and later. If your chassis number is lower
then your window glass should be chosen for mid 1975 and earlier.
This glass measures 11-1/2" top to bottom.
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!
