will the hatchback side skirts fit the convertible? Options

[match220]

I have always been told that the nice side skirts from the hatchback will not fit the convertible because of a different length. However, when I went to the junkyard yesterday I brought my measuring tape. The side skirts had been taken off of the hatchback there, but I measured it from wheel well to wheel well, and it was 70.5 inches. I measured mine when I got back home from wheel well to wheel well the best I could even though my little black side skirts were in the way. It measured out to be about 70.5. This is an approximate measurement since my side skirts were in the way of me doing an exact measurement, but it seemed almost the same. Can someone verify this for me? There were many times that I could have gotten side skirts and didn't because I was told they wouldn't fit . If it is 1/4" or 1/2" off, I can modify it to fit since it is so close to being able to fit.

All skirts are the same length. In order to install onto a vert, the factory hatchback side skirts need to be modified on the back where it meets up with the body and clips into place. Basically, you just cut all the tabs off. I believe Njccmd did a write up for this procedure a few years ago.
