If my 87 Camaro has the RPO code CC1, should I even worry about them being C&C tops? or do the C&C top cars also have the RPO codes? Thanks in advance!

 

That is the rpo for factory GM T tops

 

C&C tops were usually done by outside installers not GM. No RPO code for them.

 

That and the C&C ttops are etched with their logo. Hard to miss.

 

The size alone is a dead giveaway!

 

Post a photo of the roof of the car. We will be able to tell you if they are factory or C&C.

 

I can't right now because the car is in pieces. I'm in the process of rust removal and repainting.

 

OK, here is how you tell the difference.

The first photo of the white car is with C&C aftermarket T-Tops. You can tell by the two moldings on the front and rear that are there to cover where the roof sheet metal was cut. Also, the painted sheet metal section of roof between the windshield and T-top is wider on these.



The black car below has factory T-Tops. They sit flush into the roof and there is no extra molding. Also, the painted section of roof between the windshield and T-Top is narrower.



Another telltale of C&C T-Tops is that there won't be a GM T-Top bag with the metal loops in the trunk floor. Only factory T-Top cars got these.

 

Sweet! Thank you, now I don't have to worry about ordering the wrong parts.
