Vent Window Handle Hole Size

I bought a set of new chrome handles for the Vent Windows on my 66 Project, and the holes in them were too large for the studs in the glass and they would not stay on. I bought another set and they fit perfectly. First set was off of eBay, second set from TPP. Were there different sizes of studs in the glass for different years?

I've never seen different size studs Randy.................on any GM.
Sounds like that Ebay one may have been a metric equivalent.

My Olds parts book for 1966 shows two sets of vent handles for the "A" bodies. There are two part numbers for the RH and two numbers for the LH; all different. It looks like the 4 door sedan and station wagon used one set and the rest used the other. But I have no personal experience dealing with this anomaly.
