Starting today pandraggers.com has started selling the Randar Super Latches again. They have received blessing/permission from the family to make them. I just ordered a set for my 67.

It's an extended slider for rear pop out windows that lets the window open a lot more.

Some pretty cool designs. Not sure if he makes them for newer bugs though. Also check him out on Instagram under the same name.
