This is actually a 968 hatch, which was put on a 944, In 1991 the 944S2 had this type of hatch but the 3rd brake was mounted high. This is the correct original 968 hatch. The S2 hatch is more rare only 520 imported to the states

My question is would a late model 944 rear hatch assembly fit on a 968, or is just the glass compatible. Fortunately, I do not need either at this time.
Thanks,

My mate swapped his hatch on his '86 Turbo onto my '94 968 parts car and the 968 hatch went onto his Turbo. The main reason was he wanted the 968 rear spoiler and we quickly saw swapping only the rear spoilers was the hard way to do it.
Completely compatible and reversible.

Yes they do get it except can be at more advanced stages of separation due to being older than 968 hatches.

i believe it is a combination of factors that create a swiss cheese model effect. When all the holes in the cheese line up you get separation
UV damage to the adhesive that bonds the glass to the frame
misalignment if refitting a removed hatch
hatch pin adjustment
hatch pin seat condition
hatch lock condition
closing/slamming the hatch closed with uneven pressure both sides and new hatch shocks exasperate the above

Thanks Just Joshin. The reason I expressed interest is because i suspect my hatch will at some point delaminate and it may be handy to have a spare.But my car's spoiler is color coded (white) plus paying for a lot for shipping will likely be a waste for me as I don't need it yet. I have also read a few repair procedures for a delaminating hatch.
If yo don't mind me asking: why do you have a 968 hatch on what looks like a 944? And are you going to put a 944 hatch on that car after removing the 968 hatch?
Thanks
