Rear Hatch Glas... 3rd Brake Light & ?'s

I have a 91 Formula...
It had the 3rd brake light inside, at the top of the hatch...
I'm thinking this style "window" with the bracket on the glass to hold the light was from 90 to 92.... correct?

I'm looking to get a new rear hatch and I don't want the third brake light there... The glass shop says, earlier years won't fit... Which I'm 99% sure is not true... I think the only difference is that holder for the brake light...

I've had other years glass and an OEM Notchback too...

If I order a rear hatch glass for an 89, i should get a glas with no holder for third brake light... correct?

I saw an 88 with the third brake light on top / outside of the glass...
I don't want that or any provisions for the third brake light on the glass... Just clean glass.
What year did they start using those?

I'm getting my car repainted and I want all new glass...
Found a local shop for just under $850 for windshield, both doors and hatch...
If only they still made T top glass
