Just trying to get info on whether front and rear windshields are the same on 70-72 Skylarks between 2 and 4 doors. I found junked 71 4 door that may have good date coded glass. Thanks
yes they are.. I have a new windshield I had installed in my 71 GS and it was the same as a 4 door car..
All 3 windshields are different: coupe, sedan and conv. If you want to verify, measure from bottom to top.....also, the 4dr A-pillar covers are shorter....which also indicates a shorter windshield than a 2dr car.
I stand corrected... I looked at the windshield receipt I got, and it states clearly it is a 2 door part. I guess I got mixed up about the rear window and inadvertantly mis spoke.. Sorry for the confusion.. I am positive the rear windows are the same... I did find this on Oldsmobility.com though.. The 1968-72 hardtops and convertibles used the same windshield assembly with one other note: 1970-72 windshields incorporate an integrated antenna in the windshield. The windshield from the El Camino and 2-door pillared coupe will fall into the same category with the hardtop and convertible. WARNING: a 4-door A-body windshield, which is also a station wagon part, will not interchange with the hardtop, which is 1" taller.
That is correct, all models had different body styles, so there is limited interchangablity with windshields. 70-72 will all interchange among similar body styles, OK? 70 - 72 2 door, same, 70-72 vert, same, 70-72 4 door same, wagon may be same as 4 door, don't quote me!
I am sure there is a lot of interchange. Below is interchange for 71 Riviera. Windshields (Hollander): 71-72 Buick LeSabre 71-73 Buick Centurion 2dr + 4dr73 71-75 Buick LeSabre 4dr hardtop 73 Buick LeSabre hardtop 2dr 74-75 Buick LeSabre 2dr hardtop 76 Buick LeSabre 2dr hardtop Chevy 71-75 2 dr Chevy 71-76 4dr hardtop Cadillac Eldorado 71-76 hardtop Cadillac Eldorado 77-78 Oldsmobile Delta 88 71-75 2dr Oldsmobile Delta 88 71-76 4dr Oldsmobile Delta 88 76 2dr Pontiac 71-72 Catalina&Bonneville 2dr en 4dr Pontiac Catalina 73-74 2 en 4 drs Pontiac Catalina 73-76 2dr Buick Riviera 71-76 Oldsmobile Toronado 71-78 Tony.p
If you mean between Chevy, Pontiac, etc., yes. Chevy, Pontiac, Olds, Buick A body 2 door hardtop all interchange; Chevy, Pontiac, Olds, Buick A body convert all interchange, etc.
thanks Nicholas, I always wondered why a new windshield was so cheap for my Buick and figured they must have used it on other cars. Now I know the truth :TU:
How about a 65 Skylark 4 door and a 65 2 door HT,will they interchange?If not I am keeping a four door one around for no reason I think.......Thanks
I am pretty sure on a '65 they will interchange between 2 door and 4 door. I will find out for sure in about a week as I have a 2 door windshield to install in my 4 door.
maybe the fronts may be the same on A bodies but an Olds Cutlass rear is vastly different than a Skylark. At least on the "S" body style Cutlass.
In my post, I was referring to front windshields only. The rear window in a 4 door '65 is vastly different than a 2 door hardtop or coupe. Thanks for having me clarify that.
True. I don't think any rear glass interchanges across Divisions (68-72. I think 66-7 rear glass does)
