Wasnt aware of different lengths for these. Are you referring to the rubber window sweeps or the chrome trim that installs on top of them for the cars with chrome trim option?
I bought a few sets of NOS GM window sweeps with the thin chrome (SS) bead for the non chrome trim decor option, they were all the same lengths & sold as 70-81. All the current repros are sold as 70-81 also. And a final point, I have owned/parted out almost 50 of these 2nd gen cars and never saw or noticed different length window sweeps on any of them, all were the same length/part.
Do you have part#'s that are different for these or any other info to suport 2 different lengths? And is it for the rubber sweeps or the chrome trim that goes on top?
I recently restored my 72 firebird and used 1 of the repro brands, not OER, they were the same length as the GM ones on my 78 & 81TA and so were the dry rotted originals I removed... the doors were the same dimensions on 70-74 cars as 75-81 cars so not sure why there would be different lengths but ya never know with the changes in vendors etc these cars had over the years.
