It should. A hatch has more room in the back than a notch.

the rear bars come down at a quicker angle, hatch cages tie in at the rear shock towers

eventhough im still a little upset ill help here if i can i have a notch(84) with a cage. the angle is steeper off of the hoop. what i did is had a friend of mine at the machine shop custom bend mine because they leave the hoop run parallel to the top of the car and bend to contour the back glass still attaching to the rear shock housing. did it that way to keep in my back seat. if you dont want your backseat actually you can keep it the bars will come on each side of the back seat squishing it in. by bending the bars has i stated before gives a halo affect with just an 8point cage

oh and to fully answer your question you need to get the two bars for the back because if they were already cut for a notch they will be too short for a hatchback
