there is difference in shape of glass and in door mechanism.

early model of glass fits to both early and late door's but late model fits only on late door's...

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.
