What size convertible top does my '89 Camaro RS have... 50" or 51.5" ?

Greetings and Salutations from Cheyenne, WY:

Hello Thirdgen.org !!


I've been away from this Site for around 10+ Years, so I reckon that I'm just a Newbie now...

Anyhow, I've moved from Cleveland, OH to Cheyenne, WY and have acquired a pretty solid, clean and rust-free '89 Camaro RS Convertible.


*** The top is junk and I would like to ask the Forum if anyone knew the preferred way to measure the frame to determine which Convertible top that my car takes ?

50" or 51.5" ??


I need Help here...

Thanks in advance... !
