I dont know if they are the same I cant tell you.If I got one I think it would just be plain not tinted.If they are the same then I will have to look and see if I can get to it.

I just looked and I sold my Beetles and gave all my windows to the buyer must have included the Bay window one. I stand to be corrected here but are the older Beetle windows not the same never checked myself so its a shot in the dark but I am sure there are member who can correct me on that.

I think what's being missed here is the front bay's door windows are curved. This is not something that can be cut?

I've made use of armourplate etc to cut flat glass for the sides in split busses or laminated glass for the front screen, but it's all flat glass that the average glass shop can do.

FYI, early bay and late bay have the same size side windows.
