That all depends on how much of the quarter panel you will need.
The 4 door cars have virtually no "forward" section of the quarter panel.
See this car below...

Right behind the door there is nothing there if you need any of this area.
If all you need is the rear most area then you would probably be ok.
I do believe that the top edge of the quarter panel on the four doors is a different angle then on the 2 doors, but you probably only need the lower area.

If your plan is to use a 4dr quarter to replace the crumpled quarter in the picture, sorry, not even close. Patching in a 4dr quarter will likely be even more work than using the Chinesium repro quarters. Best bet is pay the money for a good original quarter from the southwest. Be sure the seller cuts it above the factory seam at the roof. The extra cost will be more than offset by the labor savings, not to mention the better quality of repair.

The back end of a four door is the same stuff as a convert...trunk lid and quarters...except the quarters are not as long of course...keep it for a convert repair...

The trunk lid is the same on a convertible. The quarters are not.
