Thank you sir! I was pretty sure it was. Just wanted to be 100% sure before I purchased.
No problem.
I know it works 'cause I went the other way - put Regal rear window trim on my Cutlass.
Good luck!
It's been quite a few years since I did my first one, but as I recall you can expect to find unfinished seam sealer filled seams where the factory attaches the roof to the sail panels. This will have to be ground out and filled with lead, tiger and kitty hair fillers, or some other similar repair.
Also, you'll have to grind off the studs that attach the trim that separates the vinyl from the rest of the roof and the quarter panels.
Depending on the year of your Regal and the style of the quarter glass windows, you may need to swap out the drip rail trim to the longer hardtop ones. If your Regal has the flush mounted quarter glass, you can disregard this step.
You may want to consult with other Regal owners if there is anything you need to do different with the quarter glass windows as far as trim is concerned between vinyl roof and hardtop cars as I have no firsthand experience there.
From what I've been researching the quarter windows are the same as hard tops,except the rubber gasket on hard tops are a little thicker to make up for the space the vinyl takes. There's materials I can use to make it flush. We will see once the rag comes off
Good deal. I wish you luck with it, keep us posted with your progress and results.

Here is the other thread. ..hope you follow. I've been reading all of yours. Awesome info! The last one about the grill repairs....that was very unselfish and glad it was shared
