I would think the only way to tell would be if they looked close enough to read the date code on the glass

Are you positive that a previous owner changed it over? Our July 10, 1969 build date 1969 1/2 BOSS 302 was born with bolt-in glass. Check your glass date codes, and check the slider brackets that guide the windows up and down. There is a C9 bracket that has the glass attachment studs that has threads pass through and if not installed correctly will chew up the window guides. The D0 brackets have blind holes in them and can't damage the window guides. There were some warranty issues so Ford temporarily went back to glue-in windows, fixed the problem and came back out to the later brackets. Early glass will have C9 brackets.
