broken window
Whats the saying..."stupid is as stupid does" or something like that. I was redoing my power windows last week and set the passenger door window on top of the t-top opening. you know where this is going huh? well I started it up to adjust something and out of the corner of my eye I see a light reflection of the window sliding off the car.....I was sick. did not even bother to clean it up till the next day. never do that again. anyway finding a window is not that easy. wound up paying $200 plus shipping for a brand new set of matching windows. It really amazes me at 49 years old I can rebuild a engine and stiill be a idiot at the same time.

Where did your glass come from? I recently replaced both mine and it had "made in Thailand" labels on them.
More expensive than yours as well as not fitting correctly. The curvature of the glass when the window is up does not match the body curve
I am looking to replace them again.

Wow... That sucks, I still have a pass side door left over from my old stash of parts my first '73 of 20 years ago and just bought a pair '73 of doors with very nice glass (all power window parts included) minus the interior from a local guy for $50
I had bought the T tops ...$50 for both, and a rear Diff for $70 last summer from him as well.....
