Is the rear windscreen for the Coupe the same as the rear windscreen for the hardtop?

Don't know if the rear screen for the Coupe is the same as the hardtop.

What I do know is there are at least two sizes of Coupe Rear Screens. I own a 67 S2 Pre-Air Flow Coupe and a few years ago I also owned a 69 S4 Coupe at the same time. I was about to sell the S4 but the rear sceen was mint and the 67 had a few scratches so I went to exchange them. I removed the S4 rear screen and was about to remove the S3 rear screen but I laid the S4 rear screen over the Pre=air flow coupe rear screen. There was over an inch difference. They are not even close to being interchangeable.

Success! Finished it last Friday. I made one out of 3/16 plexiglass and it fits like a treat. - 3 days work to template a mold from a friends cars window - a day p*ssing around with the molding technique and final trim fit.

Hardtop screen not the same.

What I have here is a hard top that the previous owner bought in Florida. I don't know who that was he bought it from. It needs a rear glass. Anyone know what I am talking about?

I would be interested in finding out on how to get a rear window from you. The one I have is too small (maybe from a removable hardtop). Even getting just a formed part and I can trim to fit my car. Beats trying to ship 1 from the UK. I'll trying to PM you to trade contact info safely.

I have been under the impression that the FHC rear window was the same as the S3-S4 hardtop. I always did think the windows from the S1-S2 hardtop was different to that of the S3-S4, and I'm wondering if there isn't a S1-S2 window floating around that has been trial fitted to a coupe and found to be too small. I wonder???

I remember in the late 70s when I ordered 2 Lenham S3 hardtops that there was no concern that window were not at hand, in fact, I think I asked Lenham if they were the same as the coupe. I wish I'd been able to try the glass from the HT on my coupe, but selling the HT was a required action to being able to buy the coupe. And SWMBO accompanied me to Arkansas to buy the coupe and trailer it home.

I bought the rear windscreen for my hardtop from Dave Bean a few years ago.
