>>I suppose if a Squareback at somepoint got a mirror that first appeared on a Notch/Fastback, then it wouldpreserve its 311 part number.<< Not so in this case. The early Squarebacks had a different mirror and it had a 361 number. I have one, the number's cast in the mirror base. >>no one has mentioned tinted mirrors (I've never seen such a thing) I think "anti-dazzle" means day/night.<< Some Type 3 Ghia mirrors had an anti-glare tint and I was speculating (wrongly, it turns out). I think you're absolutely right: the parts list is listing newer model mirrors as replacements for older mirrors. Just proves that the parts list isn't always the final word. Is the 1966-67 "snap in" mirror mount the same as the later mirrors? Is it possible to install a 69 day/night mirror in a 66 without modifying anything? If so then it makes sense that VW would retroactively list the later part as replacement for the earlier model years.
