They are interchangable. there should be two connections for the defroster. Are you wanting to sell or are you just asking?

As for the interchangeability, I'm not sure but, as Phanni stated, i believe they are.

I did read somewhere that in 2001 they were either thicker material or there was another layer added, or something like that, for better sound control.

They are repairable.
There are a couple of threads on this forum on the procedure.
If the window is completely out it'd be tough, but my 2000 was coming loose in a couple of 3 inch breaks, and using the recommended 'gorrilla' glue and a bit of time it was easy.
