Default 69 passenger glass question

The passenger glass on my 69 coupe has never fit correctly. I've tried to adjust it a number times and even had it out of the car to try and see it it would fit. While doing this I noticed that even while out of the car the glass would not line up to the windshield pillar and roof at the same time. It does not have the astro ventilation markings like the driver window, so I believe it to be after market or from a year other than 69.
Now, I'm looking to replace the glass with one that I hope will fit. My questions are: Are the coupe and convertible glass for 69 the same size and will both fit correctly? what years should I be looking for? I would like to have glass that displays "astro ventilation" like the driver side. Thanks.

Check Paragon out. You need to know if it is a five or eight hole window you are replacing.

Coupe glass is 90 degrees at the top rear. Vert glass is like 110 degrees at the top rear and will not interchange. 68 glass is different but 69 up till maybe 76 is the same.
