    There is a difference between the 2dr and 4dr windshields. They will not interchange. I had a long discussion with a local glass company this past week. He knew those part numbers by heart still. One is shorter than the other, I can't recall which. the length is made up in the roof, very hard to tell. And obviously the convertible is rounded at the top corners.

    Hey are you guys sure, cause the guy at the glass shop here is saying they're the same the difference he's saying in the tinted part at the top of the glass and whether it has a antennae or not. Please help fellas I have a salvage yard that has one from a 2 door wating for me and it's half the price. I need one for me 4 door.
