Hi guys,

A friend with a 94 GT convertible needs a new windscreen (front window). He found one for a coupe but interwebs is contradicting whether he can use it or not...

So: is the windscreen for a coupe the same as a windscreen for a convertible?

He needs to get his windscreen shipped from the US so he doesn't want to order something he can't use.

Thanks!

Lol, here in school we learn UK English, and you Americans speak another English. Excuse me for mixing it up every once in a while :D

I just mean the front window :p

I LOVE the differences in all accents & usages from UK English To Deep South American and everything in between! It is fun to to tease & poke fun at each other and share our different cultures! Dont apologize my British friend... wish I could copy your accent! So Good Day Mate as our Aussie cousins would say!

so you kill the dutch language as well then? My dad is danish, we make fun of him for talking funny here, they make fun of his danish as sounding funny there. Poor dude can't loose.

Funny enough though my brother was just complaining about how he some how selected UK-english for his spotify account so it keeps trying to tell him armer is spelled armour or something like that....

Now the best story about the language there I know is my first day in community college here in the states. Two girls infront of me were talking about how a friend of thiers went to the sister college for a year in england. They both thought that would be AMAZING to do but they would never do it because they didn't speak french..... My jaw hit my chest as I thought she was kidding and that her friend would correct her, but no she just agreed.... I swear I blew their mind when I told them that you can speak english just find in england. Even sounded it out for them. ENG-LISH - ENG-LAND. Seriously blew their minds.

It is beyond me why Americans always confuse the Netherlands with Denmark...

Anywho... thanks for the replies! Strangly enough Ford has different article codes for a coupe and a convertible windshield.

not in my house. My last name is sorenSEN which is the "Smith" of the danish world. He took us to visit long long ago and when we got there he pulled out the phone book and flipped it to show there was a LARGE section of names with that ending there.
