I need to know if some Chevelle glass is the same as Skylark glass.

    I picked up some Chevelle glass last week and was wondering if it is the same as Skylark and other A Body glass.

    I have below

    1969 Chevelle Windshield
    1970 Chevelle Covertible Windshield

    1968-72 Chevelle Back Glass
    Some misc. Chevelle door and quarter glass

    I was hoping it is the same as Skylark so maybe someone here could use it. Please let me know.
    Thank you,

    So you are saying that my 70 Chevelle Conv. Windshield is good for all 68 to 72 A Body Convertibles

    Does anyone know about the other stuff?
    Thank you,

    Windshields and door glass will swap with same body style (conv to conv, hdtp to hdtp)
    Rear glass is different

    Is that true about the back glass being different? I think in the 66's and 67's they are the same. Not sure for 1968 throught 1972. I just want to make sure.

    not sure myself on 68-9, but 100% certain 70-72 backlight is not interchangable

    Some years ago a buddy of mine had his '72 Heavy Chevy Chevelle vandalized and he replaced all the glass using a Skylark donor car. Fit perfectly.

    Hmmmmm.....
    The Chevy back window is horizontal across the bottom edge, and the Buick sweeps up. That's why the Chevy filler panel from the top edge of the trunk lid to the bottom edge of the back glass won't work on a Buick.

    Like I said I just want to make sure. I believe I have 4 to 6 Chevelle back glass. I was hoping they would work on the Skylark. Can someone measure the back glass on there 68-72 Skylark/GS. I have 2 pictures that I took from eBay auctions. One 70 Chevelle and one 70 GS.
    Thank you,

    68-72 rear glass for a Skylark/GS are all the same....will not work for a Chevelle. Or vice-ersa.
