Window glass...

Aug 26, 2004 3 Replies

I recently purchased a 1961 ragtop shell. I need to replace all of the glass. I'm having a hardtime locating glass for pre-65 type 1 vehicals. Anyone know of a source?


Any auto glass shop can cut you everything but the back window... that you'll have to find. A new front windshield cost me under $100 CANADIAN!

Here's a front windshield from JBugs:

Where are you located? Any VW specific yard should have some, or if you are not in an area with one then there are several yards that sell on-line though I don't know if they ship glass. Locally (In So Cal) there is Interstate VW, but again not sure if they ship glass you would have to call.
