I have one installed in my '89 and I believe there are some differences
between early and late models.  However, in both cases it is not a "perfect"
fit, and you just have to eyeball it.  I mounted the top snaps into the
vinyl trim strip that runs along the "fresh air duct" over the sliding door.
The rear part has a little split that should meet up with your rear seat -
it breaks where the seat edge is.

The front side attachments will require you to move the fire extinguisher
while the screen is attached, since it snaps behind there.  I lined mine up
so that the bottom fell about 1/2" past the floor.

It will not seem perfect (lots of bulges and gaps) but it will work.
