Question 951 deck glass same as 968 deck glass?

Will the 951 deck lid fit onto the 968? Or are there slight differences?

Why lose a nice wing and get a rubber spoiler?

Seperated glass from frame would be my 1st guess, broken glass would be second.

I believe that they are the same but not so sure on the mounting/screw locations on both. If anything the closest might be a 91 S2 but again not sure.

Harvey,
Are you going to swap your spoiler on to it, or just swap the whole thing?

If youre talking about the whole hatch:

Outside of the obvious differences (the spoiler and the 3rd tailight), the two latches bolts use a different type gasket setup. The 944s have the gasket seal attached to the latch assembly on the hatch - the 968s have the gaskets attached to the body/frame of the car. I think you need to swap out the latch bolt assemblies on the hatch frames, in-order to swap a 951 hatch onto a 968.

I have a chance at a 951 glass, would use it in my original frame if I ever need it...and keep my 968 spoiler.

If you are getting it just to have as a glass backup, then I do believe they are identical. It's the frame and spoiler mounting points that are different. IIRC.

I think the chance at the 951 glass is me, I was the one who emailed you back last night and this morning.
Cheers,
Jason
