same fitment mechanically for the cassete and the glass

the only thing you need to match is the winder to the handle as they come in course and fine splines

all the screws are outside other than the 2 that sit next to the handle and come from the inside, but you have to have the roof open to get to them

everything fits bar the spline issue as on some the winder extends too far and on others not far enough
