Default Rear window repair help needed

Hey guys I was wanting to know if I could get a little bit of help learning the differences between the big body Pontiacs.

I have a 1966 Star Chief Executive 4-door

The area where the windshield and rear window where they set down into is rusted out and needs to be replaced. Currently to keep water from continuing to get into the vehicle I have some clear gorilla tape going where the trim pieces would normally be. I think there's a company that sells the windows surrounds for the front but I haven't had any luck for the back window. Is the back glass surround going to be the same for all the big bodies or is it unique to each car?

I'm trying to find what my options are to possibly cut from another vehicle and used to patch mine up.

Although they do not sell sheet metal for B body 4 doors, Belden Speed has some good information and supplies you may need.

Pretty common repair, especially on cars with vinyl tops. I’m not aware of anyone who makes a Pontiac specific repair panel, but repair panels for other GM “B” bodied cam usually be modified to work.

Man - This may save me a bunch of money on material and labor. I've got a 69 Chevelle I am gathering parts for and was looking to buying the roof and quarter panels to get the pieces to go around the back glass.

You never know what kind of good intel you are going to get here. Thanks OG.

Comparable Chevy stuff will work, maybe other GM but I do not have an interchange book that covers Body stuff.
