Guess the descriptions they are giving, lead you to believe that the model year '87, by their accounts, equates to a 2g, which is presumably the one you want. Quick thought, if the rear window measurements are identical for a 2g and 3g, won't make any difference for you which one you get.

Agreed.

I've never seen a 3g in the flesh so im wondering if the actual shape of the rear screen would come into play.

The other thing is i have no idea how these are fitted lol

O.K. Let me know if you want the dimensions of a 3g rear window for comparison.

Nice one.

I think i may have been reading part of the description wrong "2DR3-87" (possibly 8 missing to go with the 3) 83 - 87 so could be bob on

Hi Boomer.
Just checked my 3g window dimensions. Not taking into account the curvature of the glass, I've measured corner to corner in a straight line, the dimensions come out thus: Top 1130, Bottom 1380, Height 600. So the dimensions are not too far out. Hope this helps.
