The production date on the driver's side door sill says 09/89 I always figured this must mean it is a 90, but I heard that all 90 gl's should have fiberglas bumpers-mine has the chrome bumpers. I bought this car used from a dealer in 1999, and the owner's manual was missing. The title says 1990, as far as I know...Any thoughts? >> Rob, There were a small number of 1990's made w/o fiberglass bumpers. These were the non-GL vans. It was a way for VW to lower the sticker price bring more prospective buyers into their showrooms. I have one of these vans. It has black steel bumpers, rubber mats (no carpets) front and rear, clock instead of a tach, and removable rear facing jumpseats. They did not come with the weekender bench/bed found in the Carats and Multivans. They also did not come with the folding tables in those models.
