T Top replacement
Hey guys so I'm looking to replace these lexan T Tops on my 91 with a nicer set of glass tops. I see most of them use a 3/8 pin where mine are these 3/4(?) pins that also appear to be spring loaded maybe.
What's the easiest way to do this?? Swap over the entire latch assembly or swap the body receivers for the smaller pins?? Thanks guys

Re: T Top replacement
Just put the older ttops in your car..
You may have to adjust the receivers on the body side but they interchange no problem.
Not sure why the spring loaded plastic sleeves were added over the pins in the later cars. Think it happened about the same time the ttop seals got their last update.
