Isn't the glass flat when closed?
For the popouts, there are 2 different versions, early and late, (but
not left vs. right) so something outside the glass must must have
changed between 65 and 66.
For the non-popouts, do you think the glass might have been supplied
with a slight curve in it? Someone with a fasty should put a
straightedge on that glass and let us know if there's a curve in that
glass when installed and closed.
As to the original question, compare your glass. Are they curved? Are
they curved differently (might you have 2 lefts or 2 rights?)
Bob's other comments about installation might be the key here.
