No one has door seals for a 68 Caprice. My doors do not have vent windows. The 69 Impala also has no vent windows and you can get seals for them. Are those doors the same? 68 Impalas have vent windows and you can get seals for them. Before I shuck out around $200, I would like to make sure they will fit.

I will look at my Hollanders to see if the doors interchange.
From looking at the Illustrations, I would say that there was a significant change in body styling from '68 to '69.

WOW,
I somehow just modified a post from yesterday. The post, from today that I was trying to change went away completely.
So....I will try again.
The doors from a '68 Caprice are not the same as doors from a '69 Impala, according to my 1969 Hollanders Interchange Manual. The second line of my post, above is what I was attempting to add to the post that went away.
