I have both from a 65, clear with some scratches. Might even have a beat up tinted set. Not certain it is the same as 66, maybe someone can confirm.

Different part numbers,

But we do see that in 66, the rag (67) and 2 door HT (57) shared side glass.

Wouldn't be surprised if the 2dr post is also the same as a vert. Like 66, the 65 G Prix is also the same as the 65 vert.

I can't see a post fitting. The HT and rag are frameless.

You must have a spare big block 4 speed around there. Let me know if you don't have a bench seat shifter.

 I bought the glass set from Auto City for 65 but disappointed with the quality. All the dimensions are correct but the shape of curve is slightly off so it doesn't fit the channel perfectly and wears the felt stripping.

Hi... I bought complete tinted sides for my 66, fit like factory. It's all in the adjustment of the glass, very finicky, after 50+ years of wear and tear. Don't throw the manufacturer "under the bus" for  the "changes " in your car.....I had mine adjusted near perfect, till the first ride on my "washboard" road, adjusting it still. 

It AIN"T the glass..

There is no one else making the glass....

Yes, the bodies and the apertures on these cars are far from accurate.

I compared the original to the new on the bench, and can visually set that the curve differs. As well as where the door glass meets the rear side glass, curve differs.
