    What do you mean by what is the difference? I believe all convertible Mustangs 83-93, had the same windshield. All other models of the Mustang from that period had a different windshield.

    All I know is that they are a different size windshield. I believe the convertible windshield is larger.

    The windshield shape is different on the convertible due to the windshield posts being laid back at a steeper angle than the coupe or the hatchback.

    If you need a windshield for a vert than that is a great price for a NOS piece.

    That is a good price for a NOS convertible windshield. I had a NOS Carlite convertible windshield installed last summer in my 84 and paid $134 for it. The problem is that Ford isn't making these anymore and they are very difficult to find.
