Is it possible to have early doors, late window lifts (scissor style), and an early targa top? Based on all the hours searching that appears to be what I have (in my garage). If not my cheap project 914 has been "detailed" by PO or two. All window rubber, trim, and seals have been pulverized by the Arizona sun and want the correct replacements.

My 75 had big holes in the doors for flag mirrors, so I went on the hunt for doors. My 75 now has doors with the guards in them, late winders, late windows, but no flange for the wind wing bolt. I also have a late drivers door with early windows.. Ahwell car is painted now, so I am stuck with what I have.

Just match if you care that the seals meet the window tops. They are different between years.

The early doors (70-72) had the cable lift.
Scissor lift was introduced for 1973 model year. Reinforced door was introduced for 1973 calendar year. So there was over 4 months of scissor lift doors without the beam. |

Curious when did they add the wind wing flange for this brace?
This door has late everything but the wind-wing flange.  |
