A buudy gave be two of the (not sure what to call them) front door upper rubber window stops that fit at the top of the door window front window channel (photos below).
When I try to install them they seem to slide in ok bit will not go all the way in...not sure if they are the right ones......I know alot of the parts on the 1970 model year are one year only parts.....so maybe someone will be able to tell me if these are the correct parts. thanks

The pair of rubber stops



They slide in but not all the way....like they are a bit too long



same on the other side



LATER THIS SAME DAY:

Talked to my Mopar parts buddy...explained the problem....he said he had a 70 Convertible door up in his loft...he checked it out, pulled one of the rubber pieces out and sure enough it was about 1/8" shorter. Checked his supply box of rubber parts and found a couple sets, so I want back swapped them for the shorter ones and they installed fine....so we both learned something today....as i have been told in the past 70 Convertibles have alot of one year only parts on them. Photo below of the shorter pieces.

You're lucky to have those parts.... and I'm guessing they're not for a convertible. If I had those, I would modify them to make them fit on the convertible & not give it a second thought. From what I understand, the convertible versions of those are not reproduced, but what you have looks pretty close. I think there is just one Phillips screw that holds them in place.
