LWB Targa versus Coupe Window ID

[denniso]

Is there an easy way to identify a LWB Targa roll-up window from Coupe windows? I can't find any part numbers on the windows.

Thanks in advance.

Jim, Moito,

Thanks for the help. Based on Moito's pics, it looks like I have a set of each. Not great pics, but they appear to match Moito's descriptions and pics. Are all '70/71 targa roll-up windows tinted, or was that an option? As my targa window looks tinted.

Targa?


Coupe?


Thanks!

Moito's description of the shapes is very good. 67 and 68 Targas came with both tinted and clear glass. I'm pretty sure that 69 and later Targas were all tinted (in the US and probably ROW, too). Coupes came both ways, but predominately tinted. The Targa glass is shaped a bit different at the bottom, too. Note the pictures. The Targa window channel is quite different than the one for a coupe.

My 1969 911S Soft Window Targa, originally delivered in Germany, was delivered with clear glass. If you remember, Jim, you and I spoke about this a couple years back when I was looking for a replacement window.

Of course. A soft window would have clear glass. No such thing as tinted plexiglass. I've never seen a 69 or later hard back glass that wasn't tinted, though. At least, in sunny California.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic but I'm talking about the side windows.

At any rate, my '69 was delivered with clear side windows.

Me, sarcastic? Not this time. You just reminded me that my memory ain't what it used to be.
