Default rear window

was the rear window on C3's removable? If so what years did GM offer this, and can you install them on a 76.

I'm pretty sure 72 was the last year for the removeable window and I am thinking it began in 68. I have seen on here where ppl do a conversion on newer models.

The removable rear window was from 1968-1972. You can convert your '76 to a removable rear window, many threads on here from people who have performed this conversion.

Kinda. The difficult part is finding the parts.

HA! I just asked this same question! I didn't know they had removable windows either. I think I may get around to doing this sometime next year. I just don't have the funds for it at the moment.
