Can anyone tell me if the door glass on the convertible and t tops vettes are the same for a 72. I found a left and right hand astro marked glass at a good price. Thanks, Rodney

The glass IS different, afaik. The convertible glass is more angled at the rear edge, compared to the coupes, if I remember right.

 I have "astro Ventilation" windows on my 72'. I was told they were on the table when they put them in, so thats what I got.  Convertables DO NOT have Astro Ventilation.  I also have a Hard Top. If the windows are adjusted to fit/water and air, on the rag top, they do not fit well on the Hard top.  Go Figure!  Quality Control was not important in the 70's.

Interesting.  I've wondered this about my '74 as well.  Do the same rules apply?

Ive done some checking and it appears that Convertibles that are non ac cars did have a system called astro ventilation. I cut and pasted one persons description of how it worked. Can anyone confirm this to be correct? I do know that the glass on my doors had the original retainers on them so I am pretty sure the glass was original. The vents in the back deck area does have an actuator that a vacuum hose goes to the heater control area. Below is the description I found: Keep in mind its not my writing!
