Are they planning on having it tempered , or do they think they are going to drill laminated and shoehorn it into the 3/16" lower rail ? 
       Left side are the same through all years . I believe the. 86 and up are shorter as they changed the door . 
        I have put the longer ones on before , the only down side is that it does not filed as far back. . 
         Get me a measurement , I have a bunch of pieces from different projects hanging around. . I honestly did not chime in earlier because every FKA from the list had one or two of those hanging around. .
