T-top replacement

I was looking on hawks for a replacement and it shows only 82-90 are they not the same in 91-92?

91-92 changed to a lexan t-top instead of a glass top for weight reduction, not sure about the dimensions or latch mechanisms.

The glass tops will work in place of the lexan. The latch mechanism is a little different, but it will latch securely.

More details on the Leximar (Lexamar?) tops (note, they are not Lexan)

Odd that they state 82-90 when there were more changes in the latching system between 82-90 then the 91-92s. The 82/83 had a hook mechanism, while 84-92 had a pin mechanism.
