Trying to eliminate the small triangle window in the doors and have a solid window like the 68 Camaro. Anyone know if this is an easy swap? The little widows don't seal well and are super noisy on the freeway. Hoping to just get some 68 windows and swap. Any ideas or thoughts? Thanks in advance!

I had a buddy a while back that also had a 67 and if I'm not mistaken I believe he swapped in some 68 glass without swapping doors. Wanted to see if anyone had any info first. Removing the small smokers window shouldn't be too hard but want sure about the window swap. Figured 68 & 67 doors should be similar dimensions and all.???

Bummer that's not the answer I was hoping to get
window regulators are different, front and rear window tracks are different, but hey if you're buddy did it, maybe he has a an easy way to do it

It has been done but it is very extensive and time consuming. The one I saw used the 67 door and modified the innereds to take a 68 window. It was a nightmare. Leave it.

x2!
You can get a pair of new vent window seals for around $60. The vent windows are a bit of a pain to remove and install, but I did it last year and it took care of all the wind noise. No leaks either.
