All the glass on my Cuda is tinted and very nice. I just scored a bunch of parts and a complete set of tinted glass from a 71 challenger. All the glass is mint. My drivers side window has a few scratches. Like to change it.

I ask because when I put these doors back together I learned that some of the Cuda and challenger interior parts were different.

Thanks. But am I correct to say the inner regulators, etc are different on the Cuda and Challenger?

IIRC only the rear qtr regulators of each of the convertibles are seperate enities,...the hardtops regs are the same, front or rear, with the exception of electric lifts,...contact Randy (1 wildRT IIRC) he's up on the E body window regs/glass, what works and what can be made to work

The regulators are different due to the length of the shaft for the crank handle... Other than that they are the same...

Edit After seeing Mike's post Now I'm an E body tech guy... Thanks Mike!

The deal is E body power regulators are the same because they have no crank, Vert to hard top are different but it's a simple mod to convert a hardtop regulator to vert...

Congratulations on the promotion Randy!

with what Randy said. I'd also like to add that the parts which are the same, mount using different holes on the door for barracuda vs. challenger. (all the holes are on all the doors, so carefull not to install in the wrong spot, or you'll have trouble when putting the door panel back on.)
