Drivers Side Front Glass For Challenger Needed
« on: October 28, 2012 - 10:42:21 PM »
Hey everyone,

Looking for a drivers side window for my 1970 Challenger.  Interested in other years as well as I have the parts to make it work.  Would prefer non-tinted so it will match all the rest.  Let me know what you have!

Sal,

I think the glass on a '70 had more holes than the later cars (11 compared to 9 from what I could find).  We are putting the window in a '70, but have regulators from the later cars that we can use to fit the 71-74 window in.  My dad would be interested in any year.

Last year I replaced the driver window on my 70 cuda.  Got it from Roseville.  Its a reproduction glass and it fit just fine.  They carried both tinted and clear for my car.  Not sure how correct you want to be with glass.  Here is a link:

When you contact them and say you are a member here, there is a little more discount.  Good luck.

Appreciate the link tman!  I'd like to try to get an original, but barring that, I will give them a shout.

'70-'71 will have the 11-hole glass

'72-4 will have 9-hole glass.

11 hole glass can work with 9 hole regulators, but not the other way around....

'Cuda door glass is the same.

On the plus side, they made many more E-bodies in '70-'71 than from '72-4 combined, so it shouldn't be too tough to find a decent original.

FYI there's an all-Mopar wrecking yard just west of you in Whitehall, MT - Freeman's

I believe that there is also a decent all-Mopar yard in Havre, but I don't have the name or co-ordinates at the moment.

Due north I can point you to a great yard near Medicine Hat, Alberta - Flatla Auto Wreckers.  If it's a Mopar, it doesn't get crushed.  Ever.  And the owner is very fair to deal with.
