Recently I called a couple of glass companies to price a new windshield, they don't list them for either my 87 CP or the Squires. Does anybody know for sure if the 4dr windshields are te same? I have 22 years worth of highway pitting. Thanks

The wagon roof is taller, but it's done with sheet metal.
I'm 99.9% sure that the windshield is the same.Owner of the only known 5 speed box wagon with a lift kit.

The question is easily solved. Measure the windshield in a wagon, and one in a sedan. I'll bet you $5 that they are the same.Owner of the only known 5 speed box wagon with a lift kit.

I remember years ago the junkyards always asked if the glass I was looking for was for a 2 or 4 dr, or wagon. Saying they were different.
I also bet they're the same, just want to be sure before hand, thankssigpic

fill in the blanks, and it'll give you a price and list the places closest to you for installation. In your case, $200.95 and the installer is in Greenville. Took me all of 3 minutes. And yes, it is a windshield for a wagon.
there are several other companies out there also, google the word "windshield" and watch the enlightenment.
I had no problems finding a wagon windshield here in St. Louis. The ones you were calling must have been real hayseeds.1987 Country Squire LX Wagon 5.0L: Daily Ride......1964 Lincoln Continental 430ci: Toy #1.
