@Mikey914
Are you aware that the early and late pads are different? The late targa tops have a raised boss around the front latches. If may be possible to fit a late pad on an early top but it needs to be checked.

I'd be in for one as long as it fits a 70 - 6. Good catch Bruce.

I have fit these in my 75, and it also fits my 70, I don't have the original 70 one as the car came without it, but I do have a 71 I just got that I can note any differences on them tomorrow.

Here are the pictures of the Well mounted these in my #388 1970 and they fit perfectly. There is enough vinyl to wrap around and the block is not an issue.

I checked the fit compared to the 74. Other than some variation of the indentations they are basically the same and they do fit with the visors on.

The upper picture is the 70.

@bdstone914 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.

Yes you are correct on the roofs. However, this is only a deviation on the roof. The lower main target seal is the same on both. There is no major variations in the body that prohibit it being used on both. I can't actually see any differences on this part early and late.

I’ll be in for two, early cars if it matters. Fingers crossed this goes better than the targa pad.
