How does one differentiate between the convertible and coupe door glass (visually)?  I've a local seller (remember I'm in Oz) who has a pair but doesn't know which they are.

Cheers.  My resto  is coming along nicely, but slowly of course.  

You'll be surprised to hear that so far, my most insurmountable problem is getting the correct orange engine paint, as the US suppliers won't ship paints overseas. Cry

Oz man I have no idea about the glass..didn't know they were different..but the paint thing..can you get a paint place there to mix up custum color in a spray can? I know they do that at auto body supply stores here..might be a way around the shipping thing..

Here's the convertible:


Here's the coupe


I could be mistaken, but from eyeballin it, it looks like the vert glass is shorter on top and tough to make out, but looks like the holes may be in different places...

thank you, lukesvette, comparing the two pics in your 69 links shows the roadster glass is taller and the upper edge is shorter; i.e., the trailing angle is steeper.  that's assuming that eckler's used the correct glass in each pic, because for the 68 they use identical pics for both roadster and coupe!  68s have an additional metal track bit at the bottom (mine's a 68).  this helps a lot, see how I go.
