Not quite. 1982-1984 t-tops have a hook style latching system. 1985 to 1992 cars use a pin style latching system to hold the t-tops in place.

Re: 3rd Gen T top compatibility
There are some differences in t-tops. They could be glass or lexan, which you should be able to just adjust the mounts and they will work. Also I believe the newer years 90-92 have bigger pins that hold the tops in place but that wouldn't be a problem if you can get the plastic mounts behind the A and B pillar moldings and switch those over as well.

Re: 3rd Gen T top compatibility

Re: 3rd Gen T top compatibility
get a t-top roof assembly from a j-yard and use it to replace your hardtop.
