Ok here is the breakdown by years first the only thing different on the cowls shape is raised areas on the corner caps used to locate the 68/ 72 s weird cut if you remove them you can use a later glass. Now 68/72 is one style 73/ 76 another style 77 is an oddball as it has a mirror mount and more shading. then 78/ 82 has a big broad band at the bottom to cover the higher dash.

While we're talking windshields or windscreens as they're call here in the UK (i get pulled up in the UK for 'talkin' American lingo on car parts 
) .
I have a late 77, i have had to replace the windshield and front end birdcage, when i removed the old sections, there was no clips along the top rail, i thought this was down to bubba not rplacing them and maybe using the bonding to fix the trim in place, but now i have fitted the new frame (also from a 77 shipped in to the UK from CA) i notice there is no holes for teh single screw in each clip, there seems to be indents from where the frame was spot welded.
The question is, did all years 68-82 have (or focus on 77 as i have that year) have the clips fitted? if so where have the holes for the screws gone? the clips are for holding the trim......right?
TIA
