Re: Fastback's cars.
My understanding is that they all fit across all models, but some have resting posts and some don't - but regardless of 'correctness', they all fit.

Re: Fastback's cars.
Quarter panel Seam - This is a bigger problem on the fastback due to the greater body flex. Under that fillet on the roof is a join which cracks and opens; https://i.postimg.cc/23wdZ2TH/Seam.jpg Loads of Captain Tolley in here over several days with drives in between applications to stress the join...

Great news on the MOT, and nice looking article.
