My first guess would be that the replacement glass is incorrect-that's it from a non-removable, 73-77 car. I'm not sure they are different, but I'd investigate that. Good luck.

the 73 onwards glass is way bigger than the re movable ones . No way it would fit in the frame.

How hard was it to get the old one out ? If it was like the one I did it was really well glued in there . If you forced it too hard it was real easy to deform the frame , maybe that's why ??

So what is actually stopping it going back in ? Wont sit into the guide holes ? Interference from the rubber seal at the top outer corners ?
