We have the wagon model. Does a 1995 Ford Escort wagon back window fit the 1997? Does a 1998 Escort not a wagon windshield fit the 1997?

The best way to get that answer would probably be to call your local Ford dealer's parts department. They can look up both windshields and see if they match part numbers as their database is more specialized. Judging by the pictures that I have pulled up, I would say it is a no. But go ahead and call to be 100% sure. Cannot hurt to try.

No on both. The wagons used different glass than the sedans. That is using Hollander numbers.
