 That would be a fine car in Germany, too. Many German DoKa drivers want a
 stock A/C, but the short one is hard to find. I once had one of these, but

Raimund,

This is exactly what it is. I have one of these AC units on hand for a 
possible installation on one of my DoKas. I am a bit concerned about having a 
noisy fan so close to my head when I am driving. The thing I like about them 
is the cover for the refrigerant lines follows the contours of the divider 
wall behind the seats perfectly. 

These AC systems are not considered desirable in my area. As a matter of fact 
I got this one for $5. It was a token price. The main investment I have is my 
labor to remove it.
