Are Windshields Compatible across years?

Post by trent »

I have a small developing crack on my (1981) windshield and found a replacement from a 1980 still in the frame. I can pretty much just bolt it on... Can't I?

Is the windshield frame & shape consistent across years?

The 80 and 81 should be the same provided neither had been swapped prior to now.
