Do sedan doors fit wagons? Anyone with a Taupe colored Legacy to part?


Recommended Posts

My 95' Legacy wagon is "Taupe" in color, which is rather scarce (it's a grey with a hint of redish-brown but looks grey) I've seen one wagon virtually identical to it, and one sedan that seemed near identical in the 2 years having owned this, but most seem to be that dark green.

 

 

Anyways, need to know if sedan doors, fenders, and hood are direct fit to wagon? I'm guessing hood and fenders yes, but unsure on doors. Will give a larger pool to check out if sedans are a direct fit. Also, does anyone in or around Ohio (PA, MI, KY, IN, WV, etc.) have a taupe Legacy w/o rust on the aforementioned parts and looking to part it out?  I really need the driver-side fender, both rear doors, and passenger door. Driver-side door has some rust starting but could be held off til next spring. Prefer matching color at this point, though if cheap enough (rust-free) would consider other colors as I can always buy a factory-matched can and do a quick spray. Really looking to preserve what's still there as the under body is surprisingly solid still and the rust is getting bad on those parts, especially driver-side fender which is missing the entire bottom. Everything works on mine and the door panels are good, so a bare shell with electric window would be best unless it's easy to swap the guts from mine in. Thanks.

95 - 96 doors are the same.

and 97 - 99 doors are the same.

sedan or wagon, it does not matter.

 

BUT, BUT, BUT, the rear door glass is different, sedans to wagons, 95 - 99.

the roof line on the sedan drops so the door glass is shorter.

b ut if you swap your glass over you will be good.

 

i had a 95 sedan in taupe.

i'm pretty sure they only offered it 95 - 96.

So am I limited to only 95-96? Can you clarify why you split 95-96 from 97 to 99? Is the door paneling that's different?

 

Does the rear door glass then have a different angle to it? I have the lower roof line wagon.

they added a large security / integrity bolt to the door jamb in 97.

it adds to the safety of the car in  a crash.

 

it MAY be possible to install a later door in an earlier car,

but i do not know.

it is not possible to install an earlier door a later model.

(unless you remove the bolt. not recommended.)

 

plus the wiring harness is different for the door lock system on the front doors.

 

but i thought you were looking for a taupe door.

they only came on the 95 - 96 cars.
