No, but coupe and convertible glasses are different and cannot be interchanged. 80-82 glasses are thinner than previous years and weigh a little less.

Sounds like the door glass needs to be fitted. The AIM has a page explaining the adjustment settings and procedures.

Door glass adjustment is piddly business. Take your time.
