Hi, I miss the door end caps on my 1973 1.7
 and the other side as well  I found two types online as replacements, I am not sure which one I need since that is not clearly stated on the different sites I find them?  Can somebody tell me which ones should be installed on my 73 ? Thanks a lot for your feedback! |

Pretty sure you'll need the later version.
The attaching screw is on the outside of the door and the glass slot is round. The earlier one is fastened inside the glass slot and the glass slot is square. |

Replace the fuzzy channel pieces while you're in there. Make vapor barriers out of 6mil plastic.
