Safety Car
i just picked up a 1988 convertible with a hardtop, looking to sell hard top, color does not match car, top is painted white, has rear window defogger, what is the going price for a used hard top? i was thinking of $1500 to high to low?the orig owner told me it never came with a hardtop in 1988 so he said the top is a 1989, need conformation so i could sell with the correct info, how do i tell if it is a OEM top?i do have the wrench for the top too.

I need a little help on 1989 corvette that I'm have with my my brakes. My front brakes are locked up. No warning ABS and brake lights on. I did a complete brake job on my C4. Changed the power booster, master cylinder, brake shoes, calipers, rotors and brake hoses. I checked the alignment with the master cylinder and the power booster is correctly adjusted.
I'm in the process of cleaning the wheel speed sensors, bleeding the brake replay and abs valve relay.
When I turn the key just below the start position the ABS and Brake warning display and go off.
Any help you can provide is appreciated. Thank you. Corvette's forever.

Marvin503 I suggest looking for a top on Craigslist. They are out there and pop up occasionally. I suggest you stay away from tops costing more than $500. I can a top redone for $500 with new acrylic. That only includes the acrylic nothing else. I have everything needed to change a car over to 1984-1986E. Everything. The plastic interior piece is in great condition no cracks or ugly scratches. It has been boxed up ready for shipping for years now. Best of luck in your search. Remember be patient and don't settle for a ugly top unless you can get it for super cheap.

I am in search for two steel hardtop pins that go into the rear deck lid of my 1989 convertible. Does anyone know where I might be able to find them? Someone informed me that the pins from the soft top will not work with the hardtop, otherwise I would have purchased a set of them.
I appreciate your time!
Thanks

If you don't have any luck let me know. I will try Copper State and see if they can match up the correct threads and length. It is a long shot but maybe they will have the correct bolt.

This is like finding a needle in a haystack. I'll keep looking.

Looks like those are the rear TARGA TOP bolts. I believe the bolts/pins for the convertible hardtop option are different.
Although I have been told differently, I'm thinking of trying the rear soft top pins. It might be worth a shot
Mesa..Your time is much appreciated!

Looks like this is it. Turns out I have the bolts, but I am not sure what goes on the other end to latch into the deck lid. The ends
do not look like they would latch into the deck lid, as they appear they are not ridged like the soft top pins. Is it just the bolt that goes into the rear bezel?
