All 1964 and '65 COnvertible and hardtop.

The glass is different in the convertible though.

I am not sure if Chevelle is the same but on the Skylark the '64 and early '65 used a different clip for the side mouldings. It had used a large hole in the door (about 1/2" by 1/4" oval) to hold the clip to the door. In '65 at some time around November I think they changed to a stud on the door to hold the clip.

I forgot, there is also some plastic guides on the door jamb area that help "hold" the door being there is more body flex in a convertible. These can be attached to a hard top door though, along with the window change to use a H/T door on a convetible.
