Driver’s window

Post by KLiff » 9th August 2021 - 8:36am

My Squareback’s driver’s door glass was shattered yesterday - how or why I don’t know as I wasn’t at home. Does anyone have a replacement or know if other VW models will fit or know where I can buy one or where I can get one made?


Thankyou

I may have a spare piece, but unable to check until the weekend as having to isolate until Sunday.

Hello Craig - mine’s a 68 Variant so I’m not sure the window glass would be the same...?



Thanks for looking Danny
