Yes, as someone else said, these are Brazilian.
AFAIK they are the same size though.

I think you can buy these from a few people for like $99?

That sounds about right ...... I sell that glass all day long for $100 - $150 depending on the logo.

The smaller "VW-only" logo usually goes for $150 while the one with the big Audi logo goes for $100.

Good "budget" alternative for somebody who cant justify the expense of German glass......

$600 is craziness!!!!

$600 would be expensive even if it was perfect and German Sigla.
Sigla glass is more likely to crack, so if you care about the logo it is harder to find.

I see an ad showing eight pieces for 160 Euro a Pair shipped from Brazil, so I am guessing it has later Brazilian logos.
If you are good with later logos, why pay more?

Good point on the $600 - that is more than I have seen a PAIR of Barndoor corner windows for and that is one of the few parts I would consider rare, if they were originals and in good condition.

As far as I can tell this guy bought it, shipped it over to the UK, and is reselling it now.

I assume that 19000 price is in pounds, which looks to be $29485

On a side note regarding the Ambulance...is that a spotlight on the drivers door? I've never seen that before. Anyone have a close up pic of one or one like it?

Can anyone explain the cargo door bottoms on this Westy?

And before you jump to conclusions, according to the ad text, the bus was "rust free to start" and required a minimum amount of filler.

I'm suspecting a door bottom replacement that was poorly done, possibly before the current seller got the bus, thus allowing his true claim that the bus was rust free to start.

It's just classic poor workmanship.
