I thought I'd read somewhere that though the housings mount up differently and aren't interchangeable, the actual glass is the same dimension. Can anybody back me up on that?
Yes, the glass is the same, but if I remember correctly the mounts may be different due to 911's having heated mirrors. You can use adhesive to put the 944 glass on the 911 mount. I have done that and it works fine.
