Given that doors got a reinforcement bar (late 73?) And the winder mechanism swapped from cable to scissor, does anyone know if the glass wind up window dimensions are actually different?
If you bought decent glass from a 1970 car, would it fit a later type door? Can you swap older glass onto a later door or are they completely different. Grateful for any advice from those who know!! Nick |

I've wondered the same thing. Is the glass itself interchangeable if the right parts are attached to the glass ? I think that angled part on the rear of the newer glass becomes the issue. |
