Break in on 88 Nova/rolla

So I was out to dinner on Thursday and I left my 1988 Chevy Nova/Corolla in a well lit high traffic parking lot. When I got back to the car someone had broken my drivers side window and stolen the battery of all things! They stole the parking change out of the ashtray, but they were in such a hurry they missed my friends Ipod she had left in plain view in the backseat. Needless to say it was a long night to get a replacement battery and get my baby home into the garage. Now I have to source and install a new window. My basic question is will a Corolla window fit, and if so what years/ body types am I looking for? My car is an 88 Nova hatch, so do I need a Corolla hatch or will the sedan work also? I am going to hit up pick and pull, but maybe I can source a window somewhere else. I am in Northern California. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Merry X-mas.

i don't think they will, mechanically, they are they same thing, but physically they are different. like the 90 prizm vs the 90 'rolla. just hit the scrap yard and see what you can find, it's a pretty simple thing to do yourself if you just get the parts, i don't know how common that year nova is so i don't know how hard a junker will be to find, but then again, i could be wrong, wait till you get a second opinion.

They should be physically the same, the light pattern on back of the nova was different and things like that.
