Given that doors got a reinforcement bar (late 73?) And the winder mechanism swapped from cable to scissor, does anyone know if the glass wind up window dimensions are actually different?
If you bought decent glass from a 1970 car, would it fit a later type door? Can you swap older glass onto a later door or are they completely different. Grateful for any advice from those who know!! Nick |

One side note, the 74?-76 glass has VW/Audi logo. Do not know change over time frame though.
Early 1973 built up to Jan 1 1973 had the 70-72 early glass. Jan 1973 was when side beam was required and inertia seatbelts were required, door glass had to change with it to later style |
