T-top Glass And Convertible Glass

[Davedacarpainter]

Ok guys, for some reason I could never find how they were different.

Now I've torn down my driver's door I can compare to the glass from the passenger car door (convertible donor).

The one in the back is the t-top glass, in the front, convertible.

Now we know.

Can't tell if that's just the angle or if there is a legit height difference

It's an actual height difference. I'll try to post a better picture tomorrow. They're at work.

Is it just me or is the radius of the curve in the glass different in the upper right corner (where the top of the A pillar would be)

Windshield is at a slightly different angle on the convertible body than it is on the coupe or hatchback body, so that alone would make the leading edge of the door glass a different angle. But then there is the height difference in the glass. And lastly the lower trailing corner of the glass is also different.

that would make sense the T Top glass is wider as the convertable top comes down farther to make a seal, vs. th T Top still at about the normal roof height.
