Unless the wind is really strong, you can still open up the windows 1/4" without these shades. They used to be sold by J C Whitney, but I don't think I've seen them in a long time. You might be able to find used ones somewhere. > Also I've checked through the back mail list but there's so much stuff > to churn through about the feet wet problem when it rains.

In 72 the drain hoses are: 1 just to the right of the plastic box, going up under the dash, and 1 short one coming out of the very bottom of the front of the plastic box draining straight forward. You should also check inside the rear of the front wheelwell for rust, and to verify that there is a sealing grommet around the radio antenna wire. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
