Barracuda to Dart Convertible Window Swap Question

[2fine69s]

Hey guys,
I have seen the answer to my question on FABO in the past, but for the life of me, I can't find it, so here goes. 67-69 Barracuda Vert door windows have one less hole in the door glass than a Dart Vert. The extra hole in the Dart window is for the window stop. I am using Barracuda glass and I want to make a window stop by drilling the regulator and installing a stop there. How is best way to do that, again, I have seen the answer in a forum here somewhere....
Any help and pics would be appreciated,
Martin

I have a '67 Barracuda convertible and a '68 GTS convertible, plus my son has a '67 Dart convertible. I don't believe any of them have the hole you are referring to, but I could get a closer look at my GTS tomorrow.. I have had '69 Dart door glass (hardtop) and it had the hole. So, I think it's a year thing, not a Dart/Barracuda thing.

Jim is correct. It is a 69 model year change and not a dart/ barracuda change.

Yep myself Topls and Vdart shared some info on this topic. Do a search for a thread started by either one of us. At least 3-4 years ago....great now im depressed about the 69....lol
IIRC the hole had nothing to do with the body style it was strictly the year. Eg 69 notch or fb will have that hole as well.
Vert glass is specific to verts.
Different years (same body style) will interchange in the door but you need the same year hardware.
Confused yet??? Lol

Great info guys!
I am using all vert glass so it must defiantly be the year thing. Since I'm using the Dart hardware, I'll need to make a stop in the regulator. I'll search 4spd's thread and I'll also reach out to Lawrence (Vdart) for more info. Thanks again guys. Martin
