<x-charset iso-8859-1>I contacted TMI and told them my story. I talked to a guy who told me that when VW switched to the new style seats in 1965, they first used up all the inventory of the old style seats. So, even though the official seat of the '65 was the new low-back, many cars recieved the old low-back. Furthermore, there was no way to know how many of the '65s had the early style, nor could they trace the cutoff to a certain VIN range. I guess I have no reason not to believe him, because he offered to exchange my backrest covers for the old style anyway. Judging by the response from this list, the "inventory" of old seats must have been pretty large. Marlin > I'm going to go out on a limb and say that TMI is wrong.
