I assume they are the same, but does anyone know if there are differences in the size?

86 to 91 are the same door's.

85 on down is the same size--but with a diferent latching / locking set up.

I have an '83, '84 and '85, and used to have an '86. The '85 has the later style door and latch setup and so, 85-91 are the same. Regardless, '86 and '87 are the same.

Thanks guys. This saves me some body work on a rusted slider for my syncro project. I have been saving a slider door for a few years as it was very clean, just have to paint it.
