Is the windshield on my 74 SB Vert the same glass as the Sedan?

Are all 73 and later SB's and Sedan Windshield Glass the same?

...Thanks, Bill

the vert windshield and the sedan windshield are different. They are both curved but the height is different. This is for 73-79. The 71-72 SB have flat windshield and the vert and sedan are also different.

Anyone know the actual measurements so I can tell if it's a convertible or sedan windshield if its been removed?

Can't say that I have. But at least they have the right year span. I'd buy, install it immediately, and that way you have time to file a claim with ebay if it doesn't work out.

Found one installed here in Florida for $292.03 Autoglassdoc on FB / Glass Replacements LLC Florida.

Next day service, however they came out with a Sedan Glass 1st day (good thing you guys told me about the difference) and had to come back with the Convertible Glass the next day. I did tell them upfront it was for a Convertible and I gave them the VIN #....always pays to check Smile

Good work and fast!

...Bill
