Default T-Top Question

Are all '93-'02 t-tops interchangeable?

Don't quote me on this but they should be since the most of the body changes were the f-body were front, and rear end cosmetics. I would call a dealer or body shop to make sure.

I had a 95 Z and I put a 99 TA T-Top on it with no problem... My buddy forgot to latch his side and needless to say, it flew off going about 110 on the freeway. Scary moment watching it in the rear view mirror barely miss hitting two cars. Anyway, I just grabbed the latch assembly and took my lock out and switched it with the new T-Top, easy stuff. From what I've heard they're all the same.

That's the same reason I need a new one, even after I told myself not to forget to latch it.

Yeah, funny thing is, mine had no warning... It was just a "whoosh" and bright light coming in from the top and I looked back like "No ******* way that just happened". Oh well you live and you learn, I picked mine up for like $90 at a junk yard-my buddy ended up paying me back too

They do interchange, but the tint/glass is different between some of the years (97 and down and 98 and up sticks in my head, but don't quote me on that). You could get one that doesn't match, but does fit the car is what I'm trying to say.

93-94 were Dot Matrix Style Tint (lots of little dots instead of just plain dark tinted glass), all the other years were the dark tinted glass. They all fit on all years though, just those two years were different style tint on the glass.

I have a Dot Matrix Style Passenger T-Top if anyone wants one, as I know they are harder to find being they only made them two years. It is taking up room at my house and I would Like to sell it.

Hope that helps

I have a passenger side Dot Matrix spare as well. I used it as a temp when my original T top decided to fly. IMO it didnt fit real well because it leaked alot. When I got my new one (off a 00') leak stopped.
