Door Window date code?
I have a door window that is suppose to be from a convertible but I don't know what year. The code that I found on the window is
Soft-Ray
Safety flo-lite
solid tempered
DOT 15 M 74
Can anyone point me to where that I can first, verify this is convertible glass and also what year it is from. It is my understanding that '69 late -'74 take the same glass and '75 had it's own.
I would assume that the 74 is the date but that's just an assumption and I don't want to do that.

Side glass date codes are M Y (month/year) format. I dont see it in the info you provided. For example, X L should denote Feb 1974.
M isnt listed in the month codes in my NCRS guide.
However, if you are looking for side glass, theres 2 basic configurations: 68-early 69 and late 69-75. The difference is that the first design has a different shape to the bottom edge and is different how it mounts to the supporting brackets. The later is a straight line that sits in a bracket channel. Therefore all the second designs fit all late 69-75 regardless of year I believe. Someone can correct me if there's more differences.
Be sure its from a roadster. The rear edge of the glass has a change of angle towards the top, unlike the coupe.
