I purchased my glass from Convertible Conversions. I only purchased side glass. Those of you looking for windshields should be OK as the replacement windshields are a good fit I think....I haven't put my windshield in yet. The side glass I purchased is for a 71 convertible and manufactured by Spec Temp. They are the only manufacturer I know of. There may be others...I'm not sure. Convertible Conversions, Muscle City Glass, and Pro Source Glass all sell the glass manufactured by Spec Temp. My glass was tinted, but the molds for the clear glass should be identical to the tinted glass. I spoke with Michelle at Convertible Conversions and explained the situation. She said they haven't had any problems with any of the other sets sold. I'm sure that the other sets have the same lack of fit as mine. She also said that returning the glass for a full refund would not be a problem....we'll see. I can always drive there....it's not that far away. As far as side glass for a hardtop goes, I can't comment on the fit. I do know that convertible and hardtop side glass are different from each other. They are not interchangable.

Has anyone else installed aftermarket side glass on a convertible??

Is there any chance they gave you hardtop glass rather than the convertible? ??? ???
