The other sign was that they put separate door pin switches for the alarm. So they drilled holes in the body there, too, which is less of a big deal, but I can't figure why they just didn't tap into the factory door switches.

Since you aren't a buyer for the 1987 GTA that is near you that is like the one in the pictures above would you mind PMing me the link to the ad for the car?

The only years the Formula 350 was available with T-tops was 89 & 91-92.
In Canada you could have gotten a Trans Am or GTA with T-tops in 1987, possibly 1988, but no Formulas were made that way.
