Does a 68 Valiant 2dr post car take the same windshield as a 70 Dart 2 door? Is the gasket for the 68 still svailable? Thanks!

I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure that the two door post cars use the same windshield as a convertible, but the one from any hardtop is a completely different windshield.
The ones used on the post cars and convertibles are taller.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

The 4-door sedans and 2-door sedans use the same windshield.(taller roof) The 2-door hardtops and convertibles use the same glass. The convertibles use a special gasket and plastic lock strip to hold the glass in at the bottom. The hardtops use a stainless strip at the bottom.

Yes, what Burdar said! And he used the correct Mopar terminology, no Post cars ever in Mopar land...  Did any manufacture call them "Post" cars? The proper name is Sedan for a car terminology no matter the make. "Post" is just a slang word. Although, I think nowadays car manufactures are using this terms very loosely.

Post is easier to understand and relate to. Can’t visualize sedan imo
