Default Front windshield for a 89 civic

I picked up a front windshield for my sedan civic 1989 lx. I couldnt find the sedan at the junk yard so i picked up the hatch from a 90. They all share the same front end but when i went to install it i had a small gap in my corner. My buddy helped me by the way. DId i jus install it wrong or did it jus not fit? Its like 1 1/2 in of gap between the glass and the molding. Kinda tacky looking. If i got the wrong one ima jus get it done professionally in a few weeks. DId i mention that i cracked it while carrying it?!?! LOL. "you live and you learn" o well.

r u sure u grabbed it off the right year?, as far as i know the 4th gen civics had increased dimensions in the 90'. but i found this on wiki....

Width: 65.6 in (167 cm) (hatchback)
65.9 in (167 cm) (sedan)
66.1 in (1680 mm) (wagon)

Height: 52.4 in (133 cm) (hatchback)
53.5 in (136 cm) (sedan)
56.1 in (1425 mm) (FWD Wagon)
56.9 in (1445 mm) (4WD Wagon)

as u can see there all slightly different in width and height, im inot sure if that has anything to do with the windsehild size, but seein as u cracked it, its probably useless anyways

lol thanks man..i can see the difference. I was only off like 3 inches so adding that all up roughly and going by the demensions im prolly off a lil bit. Well at least if i find a sedan i could do it right on my own. But if i waste another 60$ im gonna be pissed. Money aint a thing cause gas is a bitch!
