Convert glass has rounded corners at the top,while the closed cars have more of a square shape at the corners.
Any GM A body convert will share the same windshield, 68 and 69 do not have built-in antenna.

Exactly - all A-bodies, '68 to '72, Chevelle, LeMans, Cutlass, and Skylark share the same glass, BUT convertibles are different from all the rest, and the "whisker antenna" inside the glass is a 1970 innovation.

I believe the same goes for the big '71 to '76 convertibles, and the earlier big ones as well.
