Default Rear Quarter Window Swap

Hey I want to swap 87-93 quarter windows into my 86 and get rid of those crappy looking louvers. The only thing is that my 86 Is a T-top car and it looks like the structure around the window is a little different than non t-top cars. I've looked for sideshot pics of the not t-top models online to see if the structure is the same, but none of the pics get close enough for me to tell for sure. Can anyone tell me if the later model quarters will fit the t-top GT? I would really appreciate the input since I found a very nice pair of quarter windows I'd like to buy.

i would think it would work cause they had t tops in 87-88 also i believe. from what i see from looking at a 1986 t top car and an 88 hatch. they look the same.

ive got an 86 gt with t-tops and it had the 87-93 windows in it when i bought it. They should all be the same except for notchback and hatchbacks being different. Also, all aftermarket places sell them as 79-93 hatchback rear windows-so they should all be the same

Thanks SNORX302. I appreciate the input. I should be receiving them today and I'll try and do the swap this weekend. I'll let you all know how it turns out. Hey ho85, there is no body work required. It looks like a pretty simple swap.
