Default I've got a 15 window deluxe...look in my picture poster

I take mine to a guy in Walnut Creek....email me if you want info. Gary LaVere's is an aircooled VW guru as well, although he is in Pleasant Hill.....

Default My friend has his '60 23 window at Gary's right now getting a complete restoration

I'll probably call him and see if he has some time.

Default Gary is VERY expensive, but a great source for knowledge

I used to go in there just about every day asking him which screw to use where, and what trim to put where....very helpful and he has just about every OEM piece you can think of.
