The differences between the early (pre 73) and later Targa tops is shown below. The most significant difference is the step where the window seals attach. I suspect due to the different windows used in the 73 up cars. I'm checking that out now. The step is noticeably taller or hangs lower on the later tops.

Other differences are shown but I suspect they won't have a major impact.

Thanks for those at WCR who volunteered their tops for the inspection
