So like I said I have an 88 iroc vert that the top frame is slightly bent the pass corner main bow. flip rod is fubar... went to the jyard and stumbled upon a 91 rs vert ....frame is great has the two round flip rods one each side moved up and down flawlessly(my 88 has a single flat rod on d side.. grabbed the complete frame and the 2 metal plates that were on the 91 s windshield frame. 2 bolts and 2 rivets on. Each one.. also grabbed. The selinoids and latch mechanisms (tanneu was gone).... so question is can I swap the new frame to my 88 with the. Parts. I picked up is the rear pin on the 88 tonnaue the same.. thanks. For the input.. I only paid 100 for the lot. Also got. The two trim pieces that go. On the door jamb they r grey but. I have black onesalready so just pickex them. Up

Noone has done 5his? Im sure it will work on the back part I just hated to drill the rivirts on 5he windshield frame without knowing for sure.. also hawks sells both the header trim pieces for 5he newer top

Top bolts in rear four.r studs perfect.. rear bow center pin is the same .. front mount looks like they will work about to bust out the. Drill on the rivits on. Olx front mounts

Yep I have. Just have to make sure the screw style latches are all the way forward when you fasten them to the windshield frame.



I put a 91 frame on my 88.

Thank u so much for the info I was tryn to put the plate with the screw hole in it in beetween instead of on the bottom.. did u have to mod the middle mount for the plastic header windshield piece... I got the one for the screw latches and the hole seems to be in a different spot thanks in advance thought I was alone on this one..

fyi the Camaros originally came as a t-top car, they cut it at asc and convertibles were born so the theres no difference in structure only the mounting brackets for the frame

the tops are different between some of the years. depending how much you change to the 91 top you may need the newer style top as well. if just changing a few parts out then maybe not. not sure how much you changed between the 2 tops

I changed the whole complete frame from 88 to 91 it fits perfectly .. I did have to go back to the yard and retrieve the center braket for the plastic header.. could have made it but I was headed there neways.. thanks to all

how did you remove the rivets from the windshield mounts?

A drill careful to not press to hard cause it will dent the windshield frame outward
