The later one was black plastic. What was the first year for that? Would it fit 
in place of the grey cardboard one?

An aside about these: My 69 does not have one installed. I have several of the 
parts here, but every time I try to install one I find that the holes do not 
line up. It actually looks like there are some holes there which have never 
been used because they were in the wrong place but have just been covered in 
that silver grey VW tape. I wonder if this car actually got out of the factory 
without one. Seems pretty strange.

I've avoided drilling new holes just because this would remove the 
evidence/proof of this oddity. Dave, did you notice this?
