Difference in windshield headers
"Extreme accuracy was the standard for the RX-7 convertible, the windshield header was permitted a mere 1mm of tolerance, compared to 5mm allowed for the coupe" (85) Matras, John. Sports Car Color History: Mazda RX-7
The above statement suggests that the windshield in the convertible and coupe are indeed different but I don't know from personal experience.

Thats what I figured, its been a while since I looked at my old NAGS book. I know there are different windshields for the FC based on color and Antenna
FW 521 BBN and FW 522 which are the same...except color of shade band I think.
FW 636 - - - Has antenna built in

Pretty sure the 522 also has the antenna, but I would need to check my parts book.

Can that same antenna be used to get signal for a sirius radio, or digital radio? I'm betting not, but it never hurts to ask.

Correct me if I'm wrong here Icemark, but I believe the antenna wires or "lines" in the windshield increased in length between the early S4s ('86-'87) and late S4s (87.5-'88). I remember that the antenna lines in my '87 base were shorter than those in my buddy's '88 GXL. I assume this was done to increase radio reception or was it merely a difference between windshield manufacturers?

There are small antenna lines in the windshield but, there aren't any wires coming off the windshield. It connects to a button like connector.

It is tuned for FM, not for higher bands.
So if you had a FM digital radio with a diversity tuner you could use it with the other antenna.
