windshield question

Will an 87 jett's windshield fit an 85 golf? I found the jetta in a junk yard when we were cutting cars up for training (fire dept) and the guy is practically going to give me parts off the car.

Thanks,

They are both MK II bodies - I would say that you have a better than 90% chance they are the same. You could slao call a glass shop and have them look it up.

The last couple windshields I've had in my 85 Jetta were for Golfs. I guess the only differences are where the mirror mounts and the moulding on the outside. The guy who does mine uses a universal aftermarket moulding and it looks fine and is much cheaper than the original moulding. It should work but you'll have to glue the mirror mount onto it.

There's something about Wolfsburg (German) Jetta windshields that makes them different.
A piece of metal trim built into the seal.
