I told you that "EVERY Safari leaks! I'm going by Wolfgang's on Thursday if that helps? I could send them over to you. Safari's suck, but I realize that you use them for pictures. You need to only have 1 person open and close them from now on. It also helps to have someone push on the windscreen while it's being closed.

By the way you have a Bug speedo if I remember correctly. it fits but the angle of the pick up is different than a bus .

The worst invention for a split bus EVER, hey i look cool with these bad boys open, watch the front end of my van dissolve as it leaks like a sieve. You cant even drive at decent speeds with them open as you get pummeled by flies and other road related crap. They are shite, period, a bay split doesnt even come close.

i remember a horrible drive to rtts in my brothers 67 split panel, 7 hours in torrential rain, towels under the dash over our legs pulling over to empty water out every ten miles, it was painful, never again, iirc they were "bus boys" safaris which were made slightly better than crap by sticking in a set of creative engineering rubbers, i had a 66 ambulance with genuine factory option safaris, they actually werent too bad on the drive back from portugal, i never kept hold of it long enough to find out wether they were any good in the british climate lol.
