Newbie here. Did VW offer a rag top option in '69? Seems I can only find references going up to about '67.
Thanks,

The steel sunroof started about 65 or so in the U. S.

I came across a '69 that has a ragtop. Not that I'm a huge purist (beggers can't be chosers), but I want the roof stock (whether its a sun roof, vert, rag or plain 'ol steel). That's why I was asking.
