I believe that all years of EXP's shared the same glass with the exception of the rear hatch which is domed (bubble) after 86. Is this correct?

I'm asking because I found a 82 EXP with all the glass in place (front, doors and back-side). I would like to grab all the glass from the car if I could use it with my 86.

The later EXP used the same glass as the LN7. I believe the glass is still able to swap between the years.

yep, all the glass is the same for EXPs, as you said, except for the hatch, and as Cow said, the LN7 hatch is the same as the 86+ EXPs and the EXP turbo as well.

Yay! I know my pap!

Well I ended up pulling all the glass except the front windshield. As with my other attempts to pull out the front glass I have failed. Cracked the glass. I'm going to invest in some better tools to pull it out next time I find a good front windshield. The old piano wire trick doesn't seem to work on the front glass. Thanks for all the replies.

It would have to be some thin piano wire, I think. I have a spare windshield here that I want to eventually take out of the parts car

The problem is they stopped making the front glass for EXP's a couple years ago. The rest of the glass hasn't been made since 2000 I think. The funny thing is every once and awhile the local glass shops will tell me that they can still get EXP windshields.

BTW - I have all the glass I need plus some spares except for the windshield.

I've heard the same. Glass is very tough to find for an Escort, too.
