I'm thinking the small cars don't use the longer doors like the 2-door Concord and Eagle, but the shorter doors like the 4-door big cars.
There was some discussion about the window frames being different between the big cars and the small cars, the small cars tilt in more, but the rest of the door is the same.
There is a huge difference between 4 door short doors and 2 door long doors. All 2 door Eagles have long doors.
The SX4 and Kammback door is exactly the same, and they share the exact same metal components as the Two door Sedan door until the frame is welded. The rear part of the window frame is positioned about a half inch lower in the factory and welded in place lower. The metal pieces and interior panels themselves are identical. The glass is identical.
The only thing I'm not confident about is the position of the holes in the glass in the 2 door sedans. They may be slightly different to make it lean differently. It's my understanding that they only used the adjustment of the door to compensate for the slight difference in tilt to the frame, in which case the glass will be totally identical. Keep in mind the window is up in a groove and doesn't need to be perfectly parallel to the window frame.
