Ponyboy 10 Report post Posted April 6, 2008 Does the 70 glue in glass work in the 69 tracks or will i need to get the track it sits in. reason i am asking is i like the look of the trim on the 1/4 window rather than on the front window , and i picked up a couple of 70 1/4 windows with real nice trim on them today at the junkyard besides when i bought mine it didnt have any trim on the windows at all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mace 10 Report post Posted April 6, 2008 I think the '69 has glue in and '70's are bolt in. I don't think the '70 glass will work in the '69 tracks. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UnrulySchoolboy 10 Report post Posted April 6, 2008 I think the really early 70s still had the 69 style glass so as long as it's glue in, I believe it will fit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10yearsgone 15 Report post Posted April 7, 2008 I think the really early 70s still had the 69 style glass so as long as it's glue in, I believe it will fit. I thought that Ford started putting the 70 style bolt in glass into the 69's late in the model year? I thought I read that somewhere, very well could be wrong though. You'd be better off swapping over to the 70 style bolt-in anyhow. The 70 brackets are available on Ebay, but they aren't cheap.

SlimeGold 69 15 Report post Posted April 7, 2008 I thought that Ford started putting the 70 style bolt in glass into the 69's late in the model year? I thought I read that somewhere, very well could be wrong. I thought I heard or read that somewhere also becuse alot of the glass was falling out of the glue in tracks. All 70's that I have seen had the bolt in glass, even some very early cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ponyboy 10 Report post Posted April 7, 2008 well the 70 i took this out of had glue in glass with trim on the 1/4 glasses and near mint trim as well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerry69 10 Report post Posted April 8, 2008 One reason for the change was it was easy to break into a 69 Mustang by car thieves....One bang with a flat edge screw driver and hammer and the window came loose from the track.... so that's why the bolt in, in late 69....

GreaseMonkey 102 Report post Posted April 8, 2008 '70 bolt in brackets are available from NPD now, they arent cheap there either though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10yearsgone 15 Report post Posted April 8, 2008 It would seem to me that they would be interchangeable. The illustration catalog lists both the bolt-in and glue-in as 69/70. There isn't a 70 glue-in listed, or a 69 bolt-in. It doesn't break the 1/4s out either. It's all just "1969/1970" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pakrat 1,043 Report post Posted April 8, 2008 well the 70 i took this out of had glue in glass with trim on the 1/4 glasses and near mint trim as well Did you happen to look at any of the VIN #'s? After 40 years it could be a 70' with 69' doors, a 69' with a 70' nose or simply a 70' that someone took the glass from for their 69' already and dumped the old 69' glass into it. There are many combinations and scenarios to explain it that are not equal to how the car was originally made. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ponyboy 10 Report post Posted April 8, 2008 No i didnt look at the vin# but i do know that the glass i got from the car is longer than my 69 glass but not taller. i wonder if the trim pieces would fit my 69 1/4 glass Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
