Rear quarter glass issue

Post by 66STNG »

Ok,
I bought a 7 piece glass kit. 5 of the glass is in and fits great. However the rear quarter glass is too large, it is the same shape but is 9 mm longer, ie at the bottom.
There is no stock code on the packaging. Could they have sent me glass from another year, ie 67-68.
I can’t find any dimensions for either glass to compare.
Does anyone know if the later model glass is slightly larger.
Cheers...

My understanding is the glass is the same for 641/2 to 68. May even be same for 69/70.. Did you source the glass locally?

The glass came from Brisbane as a complete kit. But are definitely too long, I measured them against my old ones. One the web they sell the quarter glass 64-66 then another listing for 67-68, Andy the numbers different but that could be just their number.

Did you get those rear quarters off that crazy guy in Canberra? If so they are 67 ones maybe the glass is different..

The difference could be in the stainless trim. IS there anyone near you with a 65/6 to compare?

Spare what?
I’m trying to work out if the glass is too big that they sent me, or have I got 67 quarter windows??

Glass and frames, I put all new stuff in his car, so he will have spare new glass cause we ended up with 2 sets of 1/4 glass and his original set of frames. He is at Bathurst.
