Binz
only: (late in year) Binz factory
ceases production of their single cab to double cab conversion. Why go on making
Binz double cabs now
that the VW corporate monster has brought the iron fist down and taken over their
product?
Mirror arm was changed to
"fillet" style. (collar on arm base changed shape for strength, dealer installed
item) *note: the left pic is a drivers side, the right pic is a passenger side. Passenger side
is always longer thru all years.
