Default '95 to '97 es300 door swap?

Hey everybody,

I've got a '97 es3oo with some damage to the passenger side doors. Wondering if I can swap them for ones off a '95. I'd appreciate all the input you all can give. Thanks!!

I'd say the chances of the doors from a '95 fitting a '97 are nil. We're talking two different generations here ('95 is 2nd gen. - '97 is 3rd gen.) so although the differences in design/shape are modest, there are enough differences to make the doors non-interchangeable.

2nd Generation



3rd Generation



Look at the area around the rear door window. The angle of the curve at the bottom of the window (where it meets the "C" pillar) in the 2nd gen. is not as sharp as that of the 3rd gen. So, the windows wouldn't fit, and it looks like the rear door shape is different as well.
