Default 940 trim levels

Anybody know the interior differences between a 940 GL and a 940 GLS?
Thanks

trim level and option designations varied year to year. and often stuff that was standard in a higher level trim was optional in the lower level, making the distnction pretty nebulous

There is 940SE for 1991 only, a 960 with a turbo.
There is a 940GLE which had the 16 valve motor, 1991 only.
The 940GL was a 1992 only which had the four light front and some other minor features.
There is no GLS, in the US at least, or a GL after 1992.
The 940 was sold with various options groups, what varied was front ends (fog or no fog), sunroofs, wheels, leather or cloth interiors, cold packages, power seats, cruise, etc. And of course turbo or NA.
No US 940 ever came with a manual trans.
940 went til 1995 in the US, 1998 in other parts of the world, mainly because of the OBD2 required in the US starting in 1996.

What I'm trying to find is some cloth seats. So I was wondering if the GL and/or GLS came standard with leather seats? What I have noticed is, up to the early '94's, leather always seemed to come with the sunroof package. So maybe my question should be: Do GL's or GLS's come standard with sunroofs?
Btw, here's a 1992 GLS: http://www.picknpull.com/vehicle_det...JS8810NA096735

have you seen that car and does it actually say GLS on it? Sites like pik-n-pull are rife with typo errors. I've mostly only seen GL, and Turbo (GLT) 940 models, after the first couple years, they all just said 940 or 940 turbo on them.

No, I haven't seen it yet. Just thought I'd throw out a few feelers and try and save myself a trip. But you're right about pick-n-pull, they can be real loose on identifying their inventory.

There is no GLS designation, nor GLT for 940, at least not in the US! 1992 940 GL (only year that says GL on the back) came with either leather or cloth and all had roofs. The 1992 GL also had dark grey painted moldings over the inboard side of the bumpers, later dropped on the non turbo cars...
