Hi Again Ginger!!! I looked at some other larger pictures of the beetle and it does have a pretty apparent shading at the top of the window. I know this window is an after market.

The year was 1975, and I was looking for my first car. I think I had seen just about every car in a 30-mile radius from my house that was within my price range. One afternoon I spotted a gold 1966 VW Beetle in a lot called "Park Towne Motors" In Madison Wisconsin. The car had come from Cal...
