    Is the door glass interchangeable between Mavericks and Comets? I know it's the same physical size, but are the mounting holes the same size and in the same place?

    Also come tinted and non-tinted. Some have the regulator riveted to the door instead of bolts making it hard to remove the glass without drilling out the rivets.

    Different from the Comet? Or different between model years?

    Different holes by year....not by model. Not sure where the year break is.

    Here are a few changes I seen. 70-74 have the 24" hole spacing...76-77 have 20".
    The regulator support on the 70-74 is close to the rear corner of the cutout...76-77 the support in more in the middle of the cutout.
    76-77 have rivets holding the regulator to the door shell...70-74 uses bolts.
    76-77 have a smooth finish metal on the interior...70-74 has texture grain metal.
    Don't know nothing about the '75
