Unfortunately the rear doors for a TD are different and not interchangeable with a sedan.

yup, doorcards will fit just fine... but keep in mind a wagon has speakers on the doorcard.

That's for a 124.

yeah, I know the 124 door cards are equal in size, but I'm not 100% on the 123 cards.
I will compare them tonight when I get to my shop.

They are most definitely different.

the doors are indeed different.
the door cards are identical in every way I can measure on the 123 wagon vs sedan.

Huh. Good to know.

The bottom half of the door is identical, the top window frame and window glass are different. You can however mount the sedan doors on the wagon. You'll just have a nice size gaping hole on the top. You cannot mount a wagon door on a sedan.



If you run into a problem in finding wagon doors and you are a good welder or know a good welder who can do the job, you can cut off the wagon window frame (if they are straight) and graft/weld them on the sedan doors.

Are the front doors the same between a 300TD and 300D, W123? I just crunched my 300TD front driver door.
