I have a '68 cutlass convertible. Will a '69 hardtop door interchange?

Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike
Sorry, they're different. The 1968 has a wing window and the 1969 doesn't. You'll have to find a 1968 door. If you haven't created a parts wanted thread yet I'd encourage you to give it a try, and include your general location. If your lucky there maybe someone within driving distance who has one.

John,
If I have the wing window and all the internals from my '68 door, will it bolt into the 69? Just hoping for a easier fix since I found the 69 door already.

NO! A good idea but the 69 internal door structure isn't set up for a vent assembly.

Dang....got it. '68 door only! I assume (I know) that a convertible and hardtop door will interchange.

But a 69 door will fit on your 68. It just won't have the vent window. Henry (66400) can tell you if the 69 glass is specific to a convertible (I think it is)

I have put 68 doors on my 69 ht. Ht and vert doors are the same

The doors are the same but the 68 convertible vent window and hardtop vent window are different

Gentlemen,
All great information. Thank you. I will look for a '68 HT or Convert. door and use my existing wing window. Appreciate it.

Thanks, Mike

As luck would have it the A body 69 2dr hdtp and 69 converts do share the same door glass, for that matter so does 70-72 2dr ht and convert.

69 is a one year only door glass.

"69 is a one year only door glass."

typo? 1968 is unique?

66400

That's what I typed a 2dr hdtp/convert 69 door glass only fits 1969.

68 2dr hdtp/convert door glass will be 68 only.

Just so everyone can see the vent window differences in 68:


Here's a pic of a convertible driver's side and hard top passenger side side-by-side The convertible one has a slight bead on the inside (top in this pic):
