I have one installed in my '89 and I believe there are some differences between early and late models. However, in both cases it is not a "perfect" fit, and you just have to eyeball it. I mounted the top snaps into the vinyl trim strip that runs along the "fresh air duct" over the sliding door. The rear part has a little split that should meet up with your rear seat - it breaks where the seat edge is.

The front side attachments will require you to move the fire extinguisher while the screen is attached, since it snaps behind there. I lined mine up so that the bottom fell about 1/2" past the floor.

It will not seem perfect (lots of bulges and gaps) but it will work.
