As far as I know any Rabbit windshield that uses a rubber seal
should fit. When we replace windshields unless the rubber in the truck is
really hard we reuse the old rubber. We find it is easier to install a
windshield with an old rubber seal than using a new one. On the donor car
cut the rubber seal so that you can just lift out the good windshield. On
your truck get two people in the front seats and both put their feet on the
windshield and push. The windshield will crack but it will come out without
hurting the seal. Take out the seal clean it and spray the tar out of it
with silicone spray. Use good technique when installing as they are easy to
crack when installing if you get tough with them.
