Default Hardtop restoration trouble
How can I tell the difference between a 1958 and a 1961 hardtop rear window?

Default top
The 56 to 60 rear window is straight across the bottom edge and the 61/62 window has a prominent notch in the center of the lower edge to accomodate the windsplit in the body. Rich

Zip has two separate part numbers, so there probably is a difference. The rear decks are different on the 58-60 vs the 61/62, disregarding the notch. . You might check out the glassworks videos.
