Here some more education (for the people who likes it)
First and second series of decklids had holes for the festoon bulbs. Like Dave (retrowagen) mentioned, the real early ones didn't have the Karmann ghia script. If you look carefully there is a dent for the airfilter and pressings in the upper part of the decklid
third style was still with the dent for the airfilter and with the pression.
Later there was a hole added in the lower left side of the decklid and two small drain holes at the left and right side on the botton
Next style had a larger holes and the pressings in the top partion disapperead
And after that the plastic rear tray appaired
Maybe I have missed a style, but this gives a nice overview.

The number of clips for securing the harness to the license plate light also seems to have changed. Wit the later ones only seeming to have one clip. Would the harness not hang low over the engine/gen belt in that case?
Which of these decklids would correspond to the 65model? |
I am wondering if I have a different year deck lid or if VW split years. My 1970 has no removeable rain pan. But it is possible it has a replacement deck lid.
