Gary,

I think 66 is the same as 67. The outer bead is larger than the inner.

Doug,

Thanks. At first I assumed the two NOS window channels I bought years ago were not sided. So I just grabbed one today and started to install it on the passenger’s side. I only had one of the nub retainers snapped into place and it was getting close to dinner time, so I stopped. Then somewhere in the back of my mind this thin/thick bead issue percolated to the surface. As often happens with random chance, the window channel I grabbed was the driver’s side, based on your clarification about where the thicker bead goes. Hopefully, things go smoother tomorrow.

A first, the difference in bead width seems somewhat subtle (Unless you know to look for, then it’s pretty obvious. As in your photo.) I wonder how many restored C2 coupe doors have them backwards.
