WTB: Early Deludor-F Window, Driver’s side needed Options

[gcrotvik]

Looking to complete the window set for my 70. I need a drivers side Deludor-F factory tinted window in very good condition. Willing to pay a premium for the right window.

Thanks,
Greg

I guess I should clarify. I’m looking for an early style (70-71.5), tinted drivers window.

I'm parting out a 70 with deludor marked windows and they appear to be lightly tinted. They do have VW logo in corner where deludor logo is located. were the early windows lightly tinted and did some come clear untinted. I'll get some pics but will need to send to an email address because i havnt figured out how to add pics to a pm on this forum

Gale & Greg,

The "non-tinted" windows & windshield still have a greenish hue to the glass, so they can look tinted. The best way to tell is to compare with a known tinted, or look on the 914's COA to see if it says under options something like: "Tinted Glass All Around" as one of the listed options.

BTW - rear glass was never tinted from the factory because it was both protected by the roll-bar & canted out at the top to keep glare off of it, although there were some aftermarket replacement glas there tinted. So if it looks the same darkness or tint as the rear glass, then it's probably non-tinted.

Just looking at Gale's pic of the glass with logo, I'm guessing not tinted. But then, photos can vary widely by camera & screen.

Here's a pic of my `73's R "vent glass" with the logo, which is known tinted all around (since I'm 2nd owner since 1975).



It's really hard to tell if it's tinted in the pic too (to my eye it looks greener in my pic), so best to check Gale's by an in person comparison or COA.

Tom, thanks for the info. I'm guessing since my glass does not have the "F", it is not tinted.
