Impala hardtop side glass: the before-and-after photo worth taking

With the side glass down a pillarless Impala has an uninterrupted beltline. Glass up, the alignment becomes really obvious. Has anyone documented a restoration with photos of both positions from the same side-on angle?

Cloudy daylight is your friend here. The reflection of a straight roofline in the glass can make the joint between the front and rear panes much easier to see.
