    All wagon rear doors have a different window frame to the sedans.
    VT/VZ doors are interchangable ,

    Thanks.
    Even though the top part of the rear doors are different in the wagon, the door trims are the same.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    Follow on from that, the metal is the exact shape. So its possible (depending on how much effort you want to put into it) to, for example, replace a damaged sedan door, with a wagon door, using the sedans frame.

    Soo confusing - sounds like wagon door trims are maybe/yes/possible for sedan rear doors ...

    Not confusing at all. The metal is the same, meaning the door trim is the same. My door trims aren't higher than my window line.

    You could do it if you were game enough. First you would have to remove the old ones which would be a big job in itself.they are spot welded and mig welded , so you would have to drill and grind them out .If they are like the VB/VL doors they have 12 spot welds and 4 mig welds . they you would have to be spot on welding the new ones in as they are held together in a jig before welding .
