A solution to your problem with the glass is at hand, but will cost a few bucks too. In my experience, if the glass doesn't follow the profile of the door frame, its for another different application. 69 glass also easily becomes unglued from the channels that it uses to attatch to the regulator (the x-shaped mechanism inside the door). The best and most permanent fix, which I've performed several times, is to replace the glass with a set from a 70 fastback. Trick is, and it applies to all body styles, is that you MUST change the door glass, regulators and ancilliary internals, and in the case of non-fastbacks, the quarter glass also. Reason for this is the door glass is a different length and the door glass edge seal is different between the two years also. If you swap edge seals back to the original 69 style, nobody will know the difference. AND, you get bolt-in windows that will never come unglued and rattle around in the door again. By the way, the regulators are contoured and proportioned differently. Good Luck, Robert
