They're only in fair condition. Yes, you have described Fastback popout latches. The number must be marked in a spot that is not visible when the latch is installed, so I can't verify the numbers. Chrome knobs probably means '68 or later. I'm not sure, but I think '66 and '67 have white plastic knobs. The chrome on these is almost always pretty severely pitted. If you try to clean them up, let us know if you were successful and what you did. I'd like to freshen mine up, but I don't want to do something to accidently make them look worse. -Mark Fuhriman '69 Fastback ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
