This is correct, all Vanagons use the same windshield.  But I do not concur
with the advice not to replace the gasket.  Body rubber is one thing that
tends to age on a Volkswagen, and an aging windshield gasket can cause rain
to leak into the dash with disasterous results.  While the window is out,
this is a good time to preventatively replace the seal.  I have new German
seals for only $49.95 so the cost is not high.
