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 |

Dragging this thread back up again as I noticed another glass anomaly when looking at at a spare pair of doors off a late 72 car I have and now curious if there was yet another style of door/window.
These doors have cable winders (72) but the glass itself extends all the way back into the window channel and is held in place by the felt channel liner used on the 73+ cars. All the other cable winder cars I have had the glass was not as long and had metal/plastic attachment in the lower rear corner that ran in the felt less track. Has anyone else seen this early cable mechanism but with the later felt track using glass? Ill see if I can grab some pictures tomorrow. Come to think of it I have a VERY early 73 2.0 parts car that has the cable winders, ill have to go look at that one as well. |
