    Default Coupe rear glass all the same?

    The rear glass in my 79 coupe has a pretty good scratch in it and I have access to a rear glass out of a newer coupe, I think it was a 91. Im assuming theyre the same from 79-93????

    I'm not sure if they are identical, but it would fit. The windshields changed in the later years to have the black out edges and were set in urethane not butyl. Possibly the same situation with the rear glass.

    It will bolt in but some modifications need to be made which I'm not sure of. The other thing is the interior quarter plastics won't look right since the winows are different shapes.

    The only difference I can see by looking at them is the layout of the defrost lines on the window.

    I think he is meaning the rear glass, you're thinking of the quarter windows which definitely are different on the aero cars.
