Grand National/Monte Carlo quarter window fit

[kratvmnd]

I know the Monogram GNX has a drivers side quarter window that needs to be reshaped. Anyone know if the Monte Carlo suffers the same problem?

Remember on the 1:1 cars these windows are flush with the outside of the body. Its real easy to try and mount them on the inside, I know. And I owned an '86 Monte Carlo SS so I should have known.

I didn't have pics before,but I'm talking more about the ENTIRE window opening being off-kilter...here is a pic of both quarter Windows. I wasn't sure if the cars were identical enough that they would have worked off the same basic molds. If anyone has the Monte Carlo and could verify for me that would be great.Thanks!

While GM Fisher Body may have used the same stamping dies for punching out roofs for Monte Carlo, Grand Prix, Cutlass Supreme, and Buick Regal back in the time frame of the car you are building, Monogram had to tool both those body shells separately. A quick check on window shape might be to compare the clear parts trees from both kits, see if they are the same, or different in say, the opera windows.
