Default Estate Vs Saloon Rear Doors.

Are they the same? Are the doorcards the same/compatible too?

TIA chaps

Yes I believe they are the same. The 700/900 was designed as an estate, hence the square looking saloon to fit the same doors.

The 200 was designed as a saloon, hence the ill fitting doors in the estate (curved at the top).

Fairly sure they are the same, I seem to remember one of my replacement door cards came off a estate and it fitted my saloon ok.

^Thanks chaps

I can now confirm 100% that they are the same. This afternoon I pulled a set of mint doorcards in exactly the right colour without even the smallest hint of wrinkling/peeling from a 940 sedan breaking locally for £20 all in. Can't believe my luck

TLDR: For anyone else who stumbles across this thread in future, saloon rear doors and cards are the same size as those found on estate models.

Logic would say that if the door card fits then it must be so I'd suspected as much.

Quite a refreshing change as usually that's not the case when it comes to saloon vs estate doors IME.

The amazon door cards interchange sal/est but the door do not. Sal curved top but the est has a square top.

140/240 interchange sal/est as do the 7 and 900 series
