Door glass on the convertible can be pretty darn hard to find. If you find one, even tinted, grab it.

I am finding that out.

Even back in late 1980s, it was rare and I was able to trade the driver side glass for a bunch of parts.

The one I traded, years ago, went to a convertible with a severely scratched window (presumably from that cat whisker bracket, after losing its fuzzy and being ignored for a few years.
They make aftermarket glass for this car, these days, so there's no need to give up a kidney, unless the attending nurse is cute.

Have had zero luck locating any aftermarket or repro's.

Does Auto City Classic Glass not have it in stock?
1970-1971 Dodge / Plymouth Convertible Left Door Glass D4429
Oops. I see the green tint is out of stock. The grey is not listed as out of stock. They also sell entire glass kits. Contact them to see if they have the clear.

Keep in mind the glass for both barracuda and challenger convertible is the same. if a search for one comes up empty, try the other.
It has been a while since I looked at the clear set I have...if I remember correctly, I would call it driver quality, not show quality. I bought it years ago off of Ken from The Finer Details.
I've heard that the aftermarket glass doesn't fit as well as original. That is just what I've heard because I've never used aftermarket myself.

I can speak from experience that the Challenger convertible driver's door glass I bought from Auto City Classic Glass probably 15 years ago fit great. I compared it to my original glass which had a chip in it and it was good. That's all I can say for it. It could be things have changed in that time. Is your original glass missing or scratched or ? @SKR8PN

I'm dubious. The replacement glass is either made to correct dimensions, or it isn't. I cannot recall ever seeing replacement glass that was different, physical dimension-wise. It may be hard to sell a product that doesn't... measure up.

Scratched bad and edge chipped. They are currently( and have been) out of stock.

I just came across this on Facebook: 1970 Dodge ChallengerConvertible E-body drivers glass window
I don't know the seller nor have I ever done business with him. If you can't get to the Web page I'm happy to reach out to the seller and see if they would provide alternate contact info.
Best of Luck!

maybe tint the passenger side to match? ha ha. Again, don't be too choosey if the price is right. I checked, today, and I did find a passenger side on epay, but no driver.

Did you find your glass? I see one on epay, tinted, $700 shipped.
