Windscreen Glass

Post by ThomasD »

I saw a comment in a book and then on a website that the Mk2 Scirocco was the first VW to have laminated glass as standard equipment. I was surprised by this - I would have thought VWs would have had this much earlier....

Here's the German website that mentioned it (under model history)

Just found it interesting and thought others might find it so...

I thought it was a legal requirement well before the 80's.
