T-Top pin size
Were there different pin sizes on T-tops? I bought 2 on ebay and there not the same size. I thought they were all the same.

Re: T-Top pin size
Wouldn't mind knowing that myself.
I knew there were "factory" and C&C tops, and glass and plastic tops ( and I think those have different pins). But you have found a difference withing a given category?

Re: T-Top pin size
Yes, there were two sizes of pins used.
I don't know what year things actually changed, but my '91 had a "large" pin set up.
When I got used replacement tops of unknown vintage, they were "small" pin.
I simply changed the mounting hardware attached to the car to the appropriate sized units. You could also change the pins on the tops, but that is more work.
