Any notion if this would fit in a '68 Fastback? It will fit, but it is probably no good. None of them are after all this time. Before you go to the trouble to remove it, take an Ohmmeter to the junk yard and disconnect all the wires from the glass. Then measure the resistance from one glass terminal to the other. If this resistance is more than 25 ohms, forget it. When they were new, they were less than 10 Ohms. I'll bet that this one measures infinity. If it's good you'll also want to get the dash switch, the relay under the back seat, and all the wiring between those and the window. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
