Re: T top swap
the real reason asked is because i bought t tops from a "87 camaro" and they are larger then mine. Thank you for the fast reply.

Re: T top swap
There is a large difference. It would be impossible to put them on my car. I dont know if this is rare but they dont have locks either, and the handle dosen't release the way my old ones did. Instead you have to pull the handle down instead of to the side.

Re: T top swap
I know its not the pins. The actual size of the t top is longer than the old ones by 2-3 inches and comes out too far by about an inch or two.

Re: T top swap
Search C&C, I believe it is Cars and Customs, they did aftermarket t-tops. Pretty rare, Denny at thirdgenranch has a set for sale if you need some. I believe they are smaller than the factory ones.

Re: T top swap
I am not sure if these came off an 87, but i was told they were. Before opened a dispute with the seller I wanted to make sure there wasnt an alteration to the 87 that made the tops bigger.

Re: T top swap
Well ty everyone for helping me out on this subject. I am sorta pissed that i have to try and pry my money back. Although i did buy them on ebay so i may i have the fact on my side that the auction did say a 87 camaro.
If you have some pics on those tops id love to see them. I don't need a bag mines in great condition. Also send me a price.
