141-845-201B VW Karmann Ghia Convertible Left Door Glass - 1968-1974

Roll-Up Door Glass (Left Side) – 141-845-201B

The 141-845-201B is a critical component for restoring the weather-tight integrity and visibility of your late-model Ghia Convertible. Because Convertibles lack a full door frame, the glass must be perfectly aligned and free of deep scratches or chips to prevent wind noise and water leaks. This new glass replaces aged, pitted, or cracked originals, providing the crystal-clear clarity your restoration deserves.

Installing new glass is also the ideal time to inspect your door internals. If your glass is "rattling" or difficult to roll up, the issue is often a combination of old glass and worn-out felt channels.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• The Sash Channel: When installing new glass, you must press it into the Lower Door Glass Sash Channel (141-845-532). It is highly recommended to use new Glass Setting Tape to ensure a tight, permanent grip that won't slip over time.

• Regulator Lubrication: While the glass is out of the door, take the opportunity to clean and regrease your Window Regulator tracks with a high-quality lithium grease to ensure smooth, effortless cranking.

• Alignment is Key: On Convertibles, the door glass alignment is adjustable via the mounting bolts at the bottom of the tracks. Spend the extra time to ensure the glass hits the top seals evenly to prevent high-speed wind whistles.
