Default rear hatch changes

Hey all, did the rear hatch change at all through the years of production? I want to use a bike rack I have on my 88 but the fit guide says it only fits 91-01. Thanks

Went from fiberglass to metal in 97 I think.


Could be wrong about the year though.

As for the actual shape I'm not sure. Your bike rack doesn't just go into a 2" receiver?

The 88 is the same as the 91. The rack should work for you.

thanks guys and the rack straps to the door, I got it for my wife's hatch back and was hoping to avoid another 300-400 rack.
