Pre-As had a two-piece windshield through 1952, then a single-piece windshield with a V-bend in the middle. A non-synchromesh VW transaxle was used through June 1952, before Porsche switched to a fully synchronized gearbox with Porsche-designed gears and synchromesh.
The 356 coupés and "cabriolets" (soft-tops) built through 1955 are readily identifiable by their split (1948 to 1952) or bent (centre-creased, 1953 to 1955) windscreens. In late 1955 the 356 A appeared, with a curved windshield. The A was the first road going Porsche to offer the Carrera four-cam engine as an option.
One of the key visual differences between the A series and the original 356 was a single-piece, curved panoramic windscreen. The front indicators were always integrated in the horn grille and all models had a modified front lid handle with inset Porsche Crest.
The 356 glass, rubber seals and window section is broken down into the several sections that follow the specific type of 356 you are working on. We have new productions of Sigla glass as well as complete glass sets for Coupe and Cabriolets.
To distinguish among the major revisions of the model, 356’s are generally classified into a few major groups. 356 coupes and “cabriolets” (soft-top) built through 1954 are readily identifiable by their split (1948 to 1952) or bent (center-creased, 1953 to 1954) windshields.
