67 vs 68 dart glass

[Abodysrule]

I have a 67 dart 2 door hardtop. The windshield and rear glass are the same as 68 to 76 I believe. But, the rear quarter glass and door glass are different (I think the vent glass is the same). For example the rear quarter glass has two mounting holes and is not straight along the bottom edge, while my '67 has no holes and is straight along the bottom edge. Door glass in my '67 has a single mounting hole on the bottom, and no holes on the front edge (that I can see, it's still in the car), while the 68 glass has two mounting holes on the bottom and two small holes on the front edge.

I found a nice set of tinted '68 2 door hardtop glass. What is different in the mounting hardware for the door and rear quarter glass, is it just a different support mount/bar and the rest of the crank mechanism is the same, or would I need the '68 door and rear quarter crank mechanisms as well? Anyone have pics of the mechanism for the '68 crank mechanisms how the glass mounts? '68 FSM pics?

Also in '68 they moved the door lock button forward, so does the '67 door lock mechanism interfere with '68 door glass mechanism?

thanks,

Brian

The glass is the same from 67-72 Dart's. They changed to non wing windows in 73 on 2 doors but it stayed the same for 4 doors from 67-76. They moved the door lock button to the middle of the door in 69 but moved it back in 70. The 67 door latch assy is one year only and it required you to use the key to lock the car. They changed it in 68 so you could just push the button down by hand. IS your car a HT or post car?

Mine is a 2 door hardtop. People have told me the glass is the same, but apparently that is not the case. I pulled my rear quarter window just to check, it doesn't have two mounting holes at the bottom, while the '68 glass does. Differences in the door glass mounting scheme as well from what I can tell peeking down inside my '67 door.

Glass is the same otherwise, just different mounting schemes on quarter and door glass. Wing window, windshield and rear glass are the same.

Anyone ever put '68 glass in a '67 dart ? Modifications needed?

OK, well after some study, it looks like (this is my assumption) that mopar changed the mounting design of the '67 quarter window and door glass for improvements. On the quarter glass, they made the glass bolt to the lifting mechanism as the older '67 glass can come loose over time and cause problems. On the door glass, my '67 mounts to the lift mechanism at the front, so there is much more torque on the glass when lifting. The '68 onward they moved the mount toward the center of the glass so the upward force would be more balanced and likely easier to roll the window up, less issues.

I found regulators for the door and quarter glass, the only thing I need is the chrome channel/trim that goes on the front of the quarter glass. That is different as well. The '67 is permanently affixed to the lift mechanism, the '68 onward is affixed only to the quarter glass. I suppose I can cut mine loose from the '67 bracket and use it, but if anyone has '68 onward pieces (one for each quarter glass), please pm me and I'll pay a fair price
