will a 5th gen front windscreen fit my 4th gen

As the title states. I was just wondering if the front windscreen from that 2000 would fit my 97? Or is that completely different too?
What's a good method to remove a front windscreen? Maybe just use a heat gun and a guitar string?

Thanks again guys.

PS: the car was pretty much buried in snow they dug it out enough to get the Hood open, LOL. Which is a big reason why I couldn't get an idea of the body style and shape. Thus made it harder to tell what would fit body wise. I dug a little deeper around the tires and discovered the rims, LOL.

Only because it was a car I found in a tow yard and the prices are so nice and cheap. So I wanted to pick as much that I needed that would fit on my 97.
Edit: So the part number in the corner of the windscreen has to l match the number on the other car or it won't fit period?

you can use piano wire but i find it much easier to use braided wire specifically designed to remove windshields. Hope you have a friend to help you remove it, it would make it much easier. Be careful not to chip the glass.

wire:
Amazon.com: Braided Windshield Cut-Out Wire: Automotive Amazon.com: Braided Windshield Cut-Out Wire: Automotive

you can also find it locally at the bodyshop supply stores.

Thanks for the tip man. When I find a 4th Gen parts car I'll get some of that wire and bring my buddy with me.
