I'm wanting to redo the window weatherstripping soon. In looking around, it appears that the '67 vent windows must be different somehow. Can somebody give me some insight into this? I just want to know my options in case I need to replace the whole assembly, and it appears that only 68-72 repops are available. Thanks!

Re: 67 vent windows
67 Vent window glass doesn't have holes in them like the 68-72 vent windows have. Glass otherwise is the same. The frame on the 67 has the handle mount as part of the frame. 68-72 has the handle mounted to the glass using the hole as a place to mount it.

Re: 67 vent windows
Thanks for the info. So, if I needed to replace the entire assembly, the 68 - 72 would fit but the handle would be different. It sounds like the 68 - 72 vent window was an improved design. I've noticed that the frame really flexes when it's latched, which might be the reason for the change. Thanks again!

Re: 67 vent windows
Not alot of difference, mostly the chrome lever's that lock the vent window closed. 67 have the same lever's as 64,65,66 and 67!
I have a set of 68 vent windows that are of driver shape if your interested in the 40.00 plus shipping! Best of luck..... Donnie

Re: 67 vent windows
I might be interested, since I really don't think I'll be happy with mine after I redo them. I have a couple of questions: Is the frame chrome or painted? Is the latch still tight, or does the handle have a lot of play? Would you mind taking some pictures for me?
Thanks, Mike
