does anyone know if an 89 lxi hatch will fit on an 86 dx? and i don't mean drop one on top of the other, i've got rust in my dx hatch, i believe the hatch isn't original to the car, maby collision damage, the 89 lxi hatch i've got is in much better shape with no rust. the dam bump stop points are rusted out i could drill out the spot welds on the lxi and change them out with the dx,but maby i can just switch them. I'm doing my body work and this is one of the bad spots.

I think they should be the same, but i don't own a hatch or have never compared more than one to see if they are diffrent.

plus everything on the inside of the door is different. i think the door is a little longer. i know that the window trim from the lxi door won't fit properly on my dor.

they went to those seat belts attached to the door remember? they had to reinforce the doors and seats for that.
