Re: 89 convertible rs
As long as there's an ID tag on the conversion company it makes it 1000x easier to get the correct top.
If there are not markings you only choice may be having a custom one made at a trim shop,using the original as a template.
hope this helps,
We sell Camaro Convertible Tops if you would like to check on year ranges and availability.

Re: 89 convertible rs
an 89 should be an ASC conversion, that is the most common and only GM-authorized one. It was available from 87-92. The top will be easy to find for it, and the only time I have ever heard of problems with the top was when something was broken on it. I've had my 91 Z28 vert for a couple years now and the only time I ever had a problem with the top was when one of the flip rods lost a nut; I replaced the nut and it's been smooth as silk since.

Re: 89 convertible rs
Buy what ya want. $3000 is not all that high for a vert that is at least all there. There are fewer RS models made in '89. When I was 18 I would not have bought a 1955 2 dr 150 sedan Chevy on a bet. Now I wish I had a barn full.
My 89 rs came equipped with 2 bullet holes in the passenger side. Rescued from the south side of Chicago. Had been stolen at least once and had the remains of neons underneath. Been rough road but she will shine again..
