The majority of of Beetle Convertible side glass can be classified in two groups :
1953 - 1964
1965 - 1972 (and 71-72 Super Beetle)

Which one? ... wing vent, front door or rear quarter?
What year ya got?

Still the 64? Wink

If its too big... then.. its a 65 up glass. .

The roll up door glass is squared on '64 and earlier, bigger and trapezoidal '65 and up. Put another way, if you paid less than $100 for this frame- it's newer.
