Is this a '67? Or a baywindow hatch? I know it's not a 64-66 because of the hatch hole.

| I think it's bay window, because of the holes and indents on the inside beside the window opening. Those are for the wiring to the heated rear glass defroster. |

| Ide have to agree with bay window just from the look of the indents on the inside of the hatch. |

Thanks. The last time I owned a baywindow was 8 years ago, I don't know much about them and my current Bus is a small hatch.

| Late '67 has the indent but no holes. I don't remember seeing those two little ear-flaps down the middle support to prevent flexing when slamming the hatch on '67 down. That thing looks like it was in an engine fire. |

No engine fire. Its NOS but was stored in a bus in a, junkyard in Mississippi so its surface rusted. The paper wrap at, the top is VW and says International Auto Sales New Orleans.
