Rear Deck Lid Replacement

Is there a way to keep the glass on a regular hardtop car and just change the deck lid? Are the formula and regular spoiler deck lids different?

to answer your question - yes I am doing this between my two cars soon reason I'm swapping one trunk is for the 86-90 wrap a round spoiler and other is for 91-92 Aero spoiler you will need to get urethane sealer - like for windshields or it will leak as my 87 did after swap years ago - bodyman did that and I'm going to fix that look at this article here: REAR HATCH 101
this next up on my list of things to do
the trunk lids are basically all the same except for the spoiler holes are in different places depending on the spoilers
