Look closely at the front of the rear wheelwells and the rear of the front wheelwells. Rust thru is common in both of those places and lets water into the heater channels. This is a common problem. > 2) My oldest daughter has a ' 65 squareback sunroof.

Is there a rearward hanger? (The shaft had evidence of rubbing,has a > few interesting curves.) I think the shift rods were always straight. I have a couple that I believe I checked recently after a similar question came up, and they were perfectly straight. I've never installed one of these rods, however, so I'm not sure about your question on the second hanger; however, I don't THINK there is one. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
