Stefano,

i am just now reinstalling those windows onto my 73 gtv
restoration project.

yes, there are three rubber hinges per quarter window.
this is a common restoration replacement part.  the little
rubber blocks are held onto the B-pillar ( door frame post )
by little metal C-section clips.  these clips are screwed to
the B-pillar.  you can access these screws by removing
the main door gasket  and its mounting bracket from the
B-pillar area.

these rubber hinge blocks are usually sold as a set along
with a new gasket for the leading edge of the quarter windows.
i got mine from Matt at Re-Originals, but i know there are
other alfa parts houses that also sell them.

good luck,
