Default Vert Vs Hardtop

I have a 87 that I am currently parting out. I just picked up a 86 convertible. The windshield is cracked and the doors are messed up. Will my 87 hardtop doors and windows and windshield transfer over to my 86 vert?? Anyhelp or info would be appreciated.

Grant,
In Fl, if you have insurance, you can replace the window for free.
It is a state law.

Yea, the windshield and doors will fit fine..

There are some interior parts from the doors that you have to transfer.
Hope this helps

vert or coupe?

If you mean a convertible hardtop(auxiliary hardtop), then yes if it was converted to fit a pre89' car.BUT THE NEW CAR NEEDS SOME MODS TO ACCEPT IT FIRST.

If you mean targa top or coupe car with removable top, then yes it will fit.

Thanks for the help. I meant I have a 86 convertible soft top that needs the doors from my 87 targa top car, and was wondering if this was possible
