Feeler: Notchback rear 'screens

[Blitzkrieg]

As most of us know, finding a Type 3 Notch rear window is close to impossible.

I've been corresponding with someone here in Pretoria, who makes windows for coachbuilders who build hearses and buses, which obviously use custom-made glass.

He can have most any window made up, obviously once a sample has been produced and a mould created.

It would take around a month for the mould to be made, thereafter it's around a week for initial production.

A rear window would cost around R1800-00 -R2000-00 and the initial run would have to be around 10 pieces.

After that, any quantity (even if it's only one) can be made up at a much lower price.

If there is any interest, please email me directly and we can take it from there.

Obviously this can only go ahead if there's a sufficient, genuine demand.

damn its a bit late now

Blitz, contact Paul Medhurst of T3D in the UK, they might be interested. They have a supplier (Pilkington Glass) but your man might come in cheaper. The only turd in the drinking well might be the British Standards. It's worth investigating.

I'd be in for 2 as well. But they are going to have to guarantee the fit.
No use having it made and it doesn't fit.

[Blitzkrieg]

Thanks Ron, will ask him if they would be interested The fit will be 100% correct as it'll be moulded off an original vw rear screen, so no worries there

[Variant]

I'll take one. Also been looking into this but my contact for a suitable windshield seems to have left this planet

[Dirk]

We are half way there
