67-69 Valiant 2 door interior panels

Just wondering if those year door panels and rear panels are by themselves or do hardtop panels fit also?
Thanks!!

Funny you should post this. I was literally looking into the same thing yesterday and today and searching the site to see if there were any answers. I have '70 Swinger seats in my '68 V100 and was going to order the matching door panels. However, I noticed the rear window cranks are in a different spot on the post cars. The hardtop panels won't work, but it appears that Duster/Demon parts might.

Legendary says the '69 and '70 Valiant and Swinger panels are the same, but they don't look like what's in my '69 Signet, and the window cranks are very differently located between the two models.

I have a 69 Valiant 2 door. Thanks for the info about the window cranks ( didn’t even consider that). I figured that part of all A bodies would be the same. Trying to get my car back together.

Seems to me that all aftermarket companies think that 67-69 Valiants 2 doors are hardtops?

That seems to be the case. I've noticed that some vendors don't show any holes in the rear panels and in some of those cases, mention knockouts in the board for the required openings. Are there multiple knockout locations, i.e. one for hardtops and one for sedans? It would make sense to only use one backing board for multiple applications. I'll e-mail a couple of vendors and see what they've got to say about it.

Both Legendary and PG Classic tell me the rear window crank locations are left blank. You need to cut the holes yourself. That's good news since it provides a lot of options if being correct isn't important. In my case it isn't. and I don't much care for the original 1968 100 door panels. I really like the 1969 Signet panels, but nobody reproduces them.
