I'm about to buy a trunk lid from an r1 to put on my touring model FD, the guys at the company where they have it keep telling me its only for FDs with no sunroof, are the hinges that mount the trunk lids different between fds with sunroof and the ones without. I believe they should all mount up. anybody knows?

 

I have an R1 and a touring in my garage right now. I'll take a look when i get home tonight but i would think it wouldn't mater.

 

Everything I've seen the FD hatches are more or less the same. The only deal with a car with a sunroof is if it has a wiper on the rear hatch and the wiring for the wiper.

Basically, you can have a plain hatch, one with holes for the stock rear spoiler, or one with the wiper, or some combination of holes and wiper. That's really the only difference.

the R1 will have spoiler holes but no wiper. touring has wiper. the touring didn't come from japan with a spoiler, but it actually was pretty popular so a lot of them have it

 

oh ok, I have a touring model and im trying to get a hatch with no wiper and a wing. I have located one and im want to put it on my car instead of modifying the one i have and then getting it painted.

 

thanks man, please reply before I spend this cash...

 

They're the same, like others have said the only difference is the wiper and spoiler.

 

It would be a pretty dumb move on Mazda's part if the mounting points were different.

 

Glass is also different between some years.
