Door Difference?

Hi All,
Is there any difference in the front window and quarterlight frame from a four door minor as opposed to a two door car? I am thinking of replacing mine to try and get a better fit.
Thanks.

4 doors are shorter, the quarterlight would fit your 2 door frame, but the whole door top is shorter.

Many thanks, I didn't want to buy the frames only to find that they don't fit.
Maybe I'll try adjusting the existing frames so that the top of the window fits a little closer to the rubber door aperture seal.
Thanks once again, much appreciated. :D

The bottom pivot pin thing on the quarter light frame is shorter for some reason on split screen models and in order to fit a later quarter light you have to shorten it with a hacksaw.

If the door fit is otherwise OK, you can easily bend the frame slightly to improve the fit. Wind the window down first!
