The opening in the body remained the same. You can install any year windshield in any year type 3 as long as you use the right gasket and hardware for that windshield. I think that all the aftermarket windshields are the early size, so only OEM 71-3 windshields will be smaller. All this applies ONLY to the US and possibly a few other markets where the retainer strips were sold. Elsewhere in the world they were all the same size. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
