    According to the Macs catalog they are different. I'd say that would be correct.

    The only real difference is in where the rumble handle/latch fits on the inner panel. All years will fit in a 28-29, but the bump for the latch on the 28-29 inner might (haven't tried one) not allow the lid to completely close if used on a 30-31.

    As far as the rear window goes, anything can be made to fit. But I'd trade you the rear out of a 30 for one for a 29 if you already have a 29. If you're you're checking into stuff in plans on buying my thrashed coupe body, give me a PM and I'll send ya my phoine number. I have more parts available than I initially offered to you. It all depends on how much ya wanna pay.

     
  9. Thats probably why the decklid doesn't fit on my 30-31 coupe. There is a hump in the ribbing for the rumble latch, but there isn't a corresponding dip in the gutter below it. So, it looks like I've got a 28/9 lid for my car. Thanks, Dave
