it will fit all vanagons.   80-'91.    the latch  looks different but it
will fit.  i have a '80 hatch on a '91. bolts right  on and latches fine.

The  request for an 82 Vanagon hatch that hit the list the other day
reminded
me  that I have a rear hatch that's been setting in my garage for many
years
that I should get rid of.  It's off a junkyard air cooled  Vanagon - don't
know the year - and in very good condition.  The  reason I bought it, many
years ago, was that it had the proper paint for my  '81 Vanagon - bright
yellow and cream - but since I no longer have that  Vanagon it's not doing
me
much good.

I'm in the San  Francisco Bay area and if you can figure how to get it
shipped, more power  to you.  Otherwise, I think local pickup is probably
the
most likely  option.

Asking $20.  Pictures available on  request.
