I have had quite a few requests to make these over the years, well, they are finally done and in the final production phase!
Trying to tie up some loose ends. Been working on these for awhile and should have material for full production just before Thanksgiving. Another part you may not have noticed most of these are cracked. We even made the vinyl longer so that it can tuck under the main targa seal, just like factory. This is actually the 2nd prototype, the 1st one I'm happy with. We had some issues on the 1st one with the metal in the substructure not lining up 100%. Getting the vinyl to adhere and not shrink up too much in this section is also an issue. Attached thumbnail(s) |

The upper picture is the 70.
@bdstone914 Are you talking about the roofs themselves? They definitely are different. |

The upper picture is the 70. @Mikey914 @bdstone914[/b] Are you talking about the roofs themselves? They definitely are different. Yes I am referring to the different shape if the top that is covered by the pad. The early top is on the right and late on the left. It may be possible that one pad can fit both. Looks like the later tops had a thinner web at the front and had raised bosses for both the targa latch mounting and screw holes for the pad. Attached thumbnail(s) |

This is the part that mounts to the top of the window frame (not the Targa) right @Mikey914 ? |

You are correct It’s the same one that if you use urethane to install a windshield gets destroyed when you have to replace the windshield. Ask me how I know. |
