[T3] type3-vwtype3.org Digest, Vol 77, Issue 8

[J. Jonik]

Same here re/ break-ins.  But then, it's no big deal to replace a broken wing vent...especially if you have parts in your basement.    Just wondering what industry explanations were for the changes in wing vents, 4 doors instead of two, and the boring non-color colors....for virtually all cars.
And...no separate front or rear bumpers either nowadays.   Must cost a fortune to fix dents in "bumpers" that are pretty much part of the car body.

>1)  Where did Wing Vent windows go?...and why?  Without them, how to get a little air in the car without blowing hats off people in the back seat?

The only times my '68 square has ever been broken into (3x in the 1980s) it was via the vent window, by the thief either forcing it open with a screwdriver and breaking the latch, or, once I bought those supplemental "vent wing locks" just smashing that window and reaching in to unlock the door. My hunch is that the security issues, the manufacturing costs due to extra seals and parts involved, and standard air conditioning eventually killed the vent wing.
