Question Are 93-97 tops and frames the same as 98-02
As far as the vert part of the 93-97 goes, is everything the same as a 98-02? I am assuming the are, but just in case, I thought I'd ask

I believe I once read that the first year of the model was slightly different but the other years were all the same. I'm no expert though.

Ive never heard or seen anything suggesting the '93s were different, but I know for a fact 94-02 are interchangeable.

Ive got a 01 top on my 95 frame and it fits fine. I think the tops and frames are all of the same 94-02.
