1968 coupe door window replacement
I have a 1968 coupe that I am trying to change the door windows on. I ordered a pair, on-line, specifically stating that they were for a 1968 Corvette Coupe and even sent the VIN. I got what seems to be made for a late model 1969 thru 1974 pair. These only have 5 holes where as my originals have 8 holes. The seller says there is a conversion bracket that will allow these to work on my '68. Does anybody know if this can be done. Thank you.

If you want a replacement window, buy the mounting bracket for a '69 thru '74 and use this window

I just got done replacing both windows on my '74. I am no expert on '68 but I know they have a lot of 1 off year stuff, The glass shape is the same between 68-82, somebody else will have to chime in but the lower mounting bracket are all the same between 69-82

The shape of '68-early '69 are different in that the bottom of the window is cut upward and there are 3 additional holes to mount the bracket. I think I will try the conversion bracket to see if it will work. If not I'll have to return them. I just wasn't sure if it would work. Thanks for you help.
