Door Glass, Whats the difference? Advice sought. Options

[JamesM]

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.

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.

Roy, no. Been there tried that. Removed the SS pieces from a 70 window only to find out it cannot fit to a scissor type mechanism. Ended up giving the window and the removed SS pieces to Bruce Stone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
