They are NOT the same. I am not certain what the difference(s) may be on the sedan.
On the convertible coupe, the only difference is the length of the arms. Is that the only difference on the sedan? I do not know.

While all coupes had two doors, there is no tudor coupe!. Ford had tudor sedans, business coupes and coupes both standard and deluxe. Mercury only had the sedan coupe. Tudor sedans were in both the Ford and Mercury lineup.


01A- prefix = Ford. 09A- prefix = Mercury. The first two letters of the part number correspond to the number of the body style. Ford coupe regulators and Fordor front door regulators were the same and use the fordor body number.

Clear as used motor oil?

lol, yes, I know, it was a data entry error , I initially typed 2dr, but then thought i should clarify coupe and overlooked removing the 2 dr part :D

The first pix is tudor sedan. If you enlarge you should be able to make out dimensions... they are different.

I can see the dimensions are slightly different , what I cant see from tiny pic is what the ford regulator is from though.

thank you for all your time !
