Would anyone know of a site I can purchase windshield and rear window glass for my '66?
Thanks!
1966 Glass
I'll do that. I'm aware of shipping charges, but there aren't any available sources locally.Digger89L wrote:Lots of places here in North America, (google VW Beetle windshield ) but you should be looking for something closer to home: the shipping charges from here to there would double or triple the cost ...
Thank you
Re: 1966 Glass
In your search, don't forget about parts interchangeability. This is what makes owning a beetle a good thing.Airporn wrote:Would anyone know of a site I can purchase windshield and rear window glass for my '66?

Exactly. And we don't know what size windows were delivered to the Philippines.Itskyle wrote:In your search, don't forget about parts interchangeability
Best to post a photo of the car so we can advise you better.
Re: 1966 Glass
Barring that, measurements of window dimensions may also help. If it was just the flat glass portions, you could probably get away with lexan cut to size. I had been thinking of doing that until realizing some of the local safety laws may expressly prohibit it. My theory was that lexan wouldn't fog up, and wouldn't be as heavy as glass to crank up and down in a door.Blue Baron wrote:Exactly.

This guy is in the Philippines and has a warehouse full of NOS VW parts. he has plenty of ads on Samba so contact him I bet he can help you. If not VW Germany will ship the correct glass to you. their shipping rates are reasonable too.
