Tinted glass wanted for 68 B body convertible


I'm looking for soft ray tinted side glass for a 67 or 68 B body Impala/Parisienne/Catalina convertible. Need the door glasses and the vent glasses at a minimum, but would also buy the quarter glasses if available. Please contact me if you have anything. Thanks

You may want to check to see if the rear quarter glass is unique to a convertible. I know for my 1970 convertible the rear quarter glass different than from a hardtop. For 1970, door glass is the same hartop or convertible.

Thanks for the link. It explains the coding so very well. 

You are right about the quarter glass - it is unique tot the convertible. 

For the 68 Impala, the convertible and the custom coupe use the same door glass but not the fastback as I understand it. 

So I could in fact use tinted door glasses and vents from the 68 Impala Custom Coupe with the Caprice roofline and the front vent glasses (Caprice has no vents). 

Thanks for reminding me of that.

Thanks. I will check to see if 65/6 parts are interchangeable with 67/8 parts.

Thanks for confirming that. I thought so but was not 100% sure.
