the windows do look bigger than ours.  the SA website pictures were tough to
tell...in one picture they looked bigger, in the next they looked the same.
how did we get on this subject again?

>Actually, go to vanagon.com to see the now-classic picture of the SA
Vanagon (at the bottom of the pix page) -- if you will carefully study the
picture closely you will notice that the windows are MUCH taller than ours
(by about 2") and that the body panels are indeed different - there is no
horizontal "notch" under the windows as in our vans. This makes sense as the
larger windows necessitated eliminating this body feature. The front doors
are also different.

"seeing" the difference I suggest you print the picture out on your printer
and then going outside and comparing it to your Vanagon -- you'll see what I
mean.
