Are the windows for all 80's B body GM's the same

Need a new window for my 4 door 1980 Regency. Trying to see if one from a caprice or Cadillac would be the same.
It is the rear driver side window. Its electric/powered. Not manual.

Meant to put ARE, not IS in the title. Grammar error!

What year, what body style and which window? Your Regency is a C-body which are Electra, 98 and some Cadillacs.

I would think Olds and Buick C-body should be a direct interchange for all body glass in the same body style. Cadillac, not 100% sure.

WHICH window?
Windshields interchange across the B/C body line but there are versions with and without the radio antenna in the glass.
Front door glass is the same on all B/C body cars.
Rear door glass is DIFFERENT from B-body to C-body. The C-body rear doors are 3" longer, as is the glass (and yes, I checked, the part numbers are different).
Rear windows are also different from B-body to C-body, and even across divisions and model year.

Just edited my question.
it's the rear driver side window.
Thanks for the info. Glad I didn't get glass from a b body!
