Hello! Can anyone tell me the year of this hatch? Guessing 63ish?

I’m using it for a picture frame and would like to order a cheap seal. Plan to install a piece of glass. Thanks

Yes, that is a ‘63ish small window hatch. Just order a seal for a small hatch and you will be good to go. The rear hatch got bigger the next year ‘64 models. Some may state more details than this, but you have a small window rear hatch.

Make sure that seal is for a standard, Kombi or panel. The deluxe rear hatch used a larger window, and a much longer seal.
