Too easy for a joke. Anyway, I was starting to rebuild my lock mechanism on the drivers door and tore up the rear window guide cap. I went to order one (anybody got a good used one?) and noticed they differ for up to, and after 1973 (My car is a 1970). I then noticed that my two end caps (right vs. left) are different. Not sure whether I need an ear;y or later version for my driver's door. Since the driver's door has been replaced, I'm guessing it's the later model, but you never can tell. Is there some way to tell whether the driver's door, and therefore it's end cap, is early or late? The driver's door end cap (the one I destroyed) has a rounder slot for the window thatn the passenger side one which is more angular looking.
