interior door card question

[LQ4 E36]

Are convertible inner door panels interchangeable between coupes and convertibles?

[66 6]

Yes,
The driver's side the exactly the same. The passenger vert door panel has more of a T handle where the coupe just has a straight handle. Most people never notice the difference and yest coupe fits vert, vert fits coupe

Thank you for the answer. The drivers side card is really bad, passenger side is fairly decent, but missing one part. I'm not sure what that part is, but I see a round hole in the card. I'll post a few pics when I can. Thank you. Keith

Round hole? Like where a speaker should be?

Yes, the coupe and 'vert take the same door panels with the caveat that the door handle on the passenger door is a little bit different. There is also a slight difference in the door cards when the air bags came along, the cards with the air bag fit any car, but the car that takes the air bag will not accept a card that does not have them.

No. Much smaller than a speaker hole. I just got home after 2 weeks of being away. I'll take a few pics.

Is it a later model car with side airbags? They have some trim piece towards the back of the panel but above the bag .

It's a plastic cap with AIRBAG written on it.

Thank you!! I have a few other issues to work through before I go after the little things. Namely keeping the combustion gas inside the cylinder and out of the cooling system.
