I would think youd need to swap the whole 1/4 windows.
Im not sure how they would look. Im pretty sure some of the guys that converted 4 eye cars to '87+ still have the old 1/4 windows and moldings though.

That is correct, you have to have a metal frame that goes around a Smaller Window and then the louver bolts up to side of it with about 4 or 5 bolts. DOES NOT LOOK GOOD even on an 85-86 model. I went out and bought '87-93 style Quarter Windows for my 4-eye. Looks alot cleaner!
