quick easy questionfor you guys.

will an 85 wagon windshield fit into an 87 wagon?

thanks.

I think the model change came in '86 so I dont think the '85 will fit an '87, someone else may know more.

 

Related question (semi-hijack): Are all L-series windshields the same? Will one from a wagon fit in a 3-door? They look the same but seem to measure a bit different.

Yes, but the top corners might be a hair different. I have done the same replacement, but going the other way with years. Your corners might be sharper on the glass, but should fit. If you can, try and set the new glass on top to see how the fit is.

A quick, yet precise, measurement will tell you.

Yes, it will fit.

FW499 is the NAGS part #. The molding is 8 pieces. 4 corners and the 4 sides.

The 4 corners may seem the same but they are in pairs (top/bottom) and they are at a very slight different angle. (there is a rare molding that is only 4 pieces. Top, 2 top corners and the sides/bottom/bottom corners all one piece. Rarely seen!)

 

Are you thinking of doing it yourself? Any experience? If not, you will want to reconsider.
