Any thirdgen T-top will fit. Good luck finding a set of lexan tops though. I had a set but they made WAY too much wind noise, do you have the same problem? You can find a set of glass ones for $50-$150. All you need to do is adjust the plastic mounts that the pins fit into.

  Mods? Um, no

 

Yeah, the reason my top cracked was b/c the front corner chipped, and the top did not sit in the roof very well. (Horrible noise above 70 mph) I guess the air stress from driving at highway speeds was just too much for the acrylic tops to handle. Do the glass ones end up looking as ****ty as the plastic ones do?

 

I've got glass tops in my '86 and they are better looking than the rest of the glass in the car. (not that the rest of the glass is in horrid condition)

Since glass is more scratch resistant, they hold up better. They arn't tinted as dark though, thats the only down side. Another good thing is since they are flat they don't look bulbus like the lexan ones do.

 

My glass t-tops on my 86 still look great,i just had my windshield replaced and what a difference from the old one,no more scratches and it really cleans the cars look up.

Try and replace them with Lexan, it weighs much less and are darker, they just look better. I don't have anywind noise with mine unless I go over 125 and they are not warped or anything. I did have to polish them though on the outside to remove the oxidation.

I've seen only one thirdgen so far with lexan t-tops and they looked downright fugly. Like twin humps in the roof. I guess it takes only a few 100*+ summers to do that.

I prefer glass ones. IMO, they are heavier but they fit and look better.
