Subject:Re: Different Years - Sliding Windows

Basically, almost everything about the sliding doors is different, 80-84
and 85-91. Windows, handle, latch mechanism, even the welded in track on
the body for the rear hinge roller, all different. All the other window
openings are the same size for all years but not the sliding door window.
