The door shells are the same, but be aware that convertibles have wedge plates added to the rear edge of the door. Look at your convert door and you'll see a small plate that wedges against a mating plate on the door jamb. This helps prevent sagging. Simply transfer the plate from the old convert door to the hardtop door. I believe the two screw holes are already punched in the door. Repros of the plates and shims are available.
