Does anyone have a good picture showing the difference between the early vs late Targa top rubber bumper/blocks (the part that the hook catches)? I found a picture but it doesn't highlight a difference, and I'm pretty sure there is one.

Thanks for that Bruce.

IF you have both.. could you please measure the height on each please? I may be sourcing several of both kinds and most people won’t necessarily know the difference without a measurement. TIA.

It's in the rubber bumpers. One is taller and narrower at the contact point. The latch base on the car is also narrower to match. IIRC its ~1" and ~1.25"

They look like late but they catalog one for all years.

The only URO ones I'm seeing (google search), look to be early if I'm comparing them to the early ones I already have. But just a guess.

Thanks Bruce!!

28mm= 1.10" , I'll measure the ones I have (which I believe are early) to verify.
