'58 was the year of the first square rear window and larger front window. The next stage of the game was larger again for both (67?). And bigger turn signals over and over time, the butt-ugly front fenders and lights, different cut-out radiuses on the rear fenders - I swear there was some guy in charge of making the Bug uglier and uglier over time. And he succeeded.
I got the '58 from Micah, a RAMVA guy. Funny, but I haven't taken many pictures of it, but I will look through my hard drive for the pictures Micha took. Later. I have company now. :(
Most easy give aways are heater knob fore/aft of hand brake, door latch mechanism, gear shift lever able to rotate or not(Curved and longer if not), hand brake adjustment done at head of pan(small oval cover between torsion tubes).

Yes Dennis the windshield is bigger on a 58, the side glass stayed the same.

the side glass got bigger in 65, and i do believe the rear glass did increase slightly IIRC.... also mid 60's early 70's?
...........FWIW.......the rear glass on my '66 and '70 are the same and both are smaller than on my '77.
The rear glass got bigger in '72...
How ya'll doin'?
