At least in the US, our cars started coming with some extra metal strips under the windshield seal in 71. These strips were meant to hold the glass in place more tightly in an accident. If you have these strips, then your seal is different and the glass itself is very slightly smaller. So, except for type 34s, there are just 2 sizes of windshields: those with the metal strips, and those without. Whichever you have, you want to use a complete matching set of glass, seal, and strips (or not.) The windshield hole in the body is the same size for all years/models except for the type 34. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
