i have some, although a little tatty on the seals, they dont leak thou
 , pretty good for ppl in the back imo, i always get a little claustrophobic if im in the back without an opening window :-\ + u have the bragging rites to say u have rear pop outs lollook pretty easy to fit 2(was already on mine) is just a case of screwing the fastner and hinges to the front and rear of the window

i fitted some to my old '73. v.easy to fit as the holes were predrilled. they cost me 23.50 from a scrappie(bargainous), nope they didn't leak. i wouldn't say they sealed perfectly around the window but hey, so it was a little draughty. stopped it misting up so bad

Maybe that is because they are being stored in the outside toilet tho and havent' been fitted to the car yet  Was watching a set on ebay that finished a few days ago ........ they went for £210

you can pick up a set for about £60 but if you have pre 62-63 bug with small windows they get pricey
if you need the extra seal that goes round the window frame of the car that gives you the nice snugg to make it more water tight let me know

I think that the ones i saw on ebay were NOS
They are definately cheaper for the later bugs ............ i picked mine up for £20 with a front screen too but that was lucky.They do turn up cheap tho every now and then tho if you keep your eye out for them
