| A 62 does not have the holes pre drilled for pop outs... also to the guy with the 57... someone drilled those holes they weren't there from the factory. I have a 57 and a 62 and believe me there are no holes! |

I love my 67 except for one problem - no rear pop-out windows. Driving in the city is like riding in an oven. Even when you get going, the airflow is minimal with the original stationary windows in place.
Is there anyway to install popout windows using the original glass and old (if I can find them) pop out style window frames? I'd like to retain the original glass - everything else on the bug is original and I don't want to mess with it by putting in new glass and new window frames. Gaskets and seals would need to be new, but not much else - at least that is my uneducated assessment.
Can anybody tell me:
1. Is it possible to retro fit pop out windows?
2. Is there any way to use the original rear window glass in the pop-outs?
3. Would doing this lower the value of the car because it would no longer be "original?"
4. Can anybody give me a good reason why I should NOT do this? |
If you PM me your email, I'll send you a procedure to retrofit popouts to your '67 and also a second showing how to replace all the seals. |
