Default Buying windows for my 73, need some help.

Hey guys I am purchasing windows for my 73 corvette since mine are cracked and scratched badly. I found a seller that has glass from a 71 and it appears that they have a green tint on them. Is this still correct for 73? Is this tint removable? And if I wanted to tint them to the correct 73 shade (if it's different from 71) is it possible?

(I could also put this glass on a friends 71 so this won't affect my purchase.)

Thanks.

I don't know about the tint, I would assume that it is the same. The thickness of the glass is important. The 71 will be the correct thickness and have the astro ventilation logo. Later year Vettes had thinner glass to save weight.
