Since all i see is crx door swap posts with no real answers just a bunch of double talk

i have an Hatchback 89 STD(b piller seat belts)
and have a clean set of hatchback 91 doors(with door seat belts)

i have 4 point harness and dont need the seat belts so all that extra hardware is trashed.

but i wanted to know if the 91 doors would mount correctly or if they would even seal right.

From what i can gather the crx door latch is lower or higher on the 90-91 vs the 88-89

and the seals leak massive air and water.

so i would assume this is the same on the hatchback.

Anyone been though this before.

 

we did the exact opposite. 91 civic with 88 civic doors. same thing with crx, it leaks air/water. doesn't seal correctly but it fits and locks. unsure if the other way around would even get the doors to close. even if it do, it definitely wont seal properly.

Since you have both doors, my suggestion would be that you look at both doors seal on its side near the latch and compare those two. You will then see how different they are.

 

OK did lots of measuring and found that the 90-91 seat belt doors have a 1/5 inch more on the end then the 88-89 non seat belts. do this would need to be pounded down and reshaped to fit but the seal was also disproportionate to the body of the car.

So final words on door swaps. NO THEY DO NOT FIT AND DO NOT WORK.

if you need to pound anything in, its not worth doing in the first place, no reason to damage a perfectly good car just for doors. I found a clean set at the junk yard and used those. Only 65 a whole door
