Tailgate differences

[jfarrand93]

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me out with a tailgate query. I was looking to get a new tailgate but I’ve noticed there are tonnes of different part numbers for them. I’ve seen that there are differences with some of the early cars (93 to 94 I think) but are there any on the later cars?

I know the 99 cars had different holes for the spoiler but does anyone know if they’re shaped any differently? You can still get them new for a fairly reasonable price but the shipping is ridiculous so if there’s no difference I’d rather buy a used early hatch

So there are at least 4 versions.
91-95 spoiler
95-99 spoiler
99-02 spoiler

Then you have the options that came with no rear wiper like the R2 etc. So it's mostly just different holes and fixings for the hatch.

Shape wise they are all the same.

That’s excellent, thank you very much. Looks like I’ll be getting a used one and saving a small fortune then!

The glass is a slightly different shape on later hatches, I forget where the crossover is, but it's slightly more square.

They are the same a far as I know? The later r models and up got oem tint but the glass is the same and interchangeable.

I thought I’d read about a change on the early cars because of the profile on the top of the hatch being different. This makes the some hatch wings need work to fit later cars. I’ve had a look at the part numbers and there are various ones for the glass:

91-93
F10063930A

94
F11063930A

96
F13263930

99
F13263930 (base and same as 96)
F14063930A (RS, RZ, Spirit R, etc.)

I’m not sure whether there were 2 changes in 94 and 99 then going by those numbers. Does anyone know if the later glass will go in an early hatch and vice verse? The seal numbers and fittings all seem to be the same but obviously if the glass is a slightly different shape then the hole may have a different profile.

The hatch glass is ever so slightly different, I had to re-profile an Origin spoiler because of it.
