There were 49,213 77s built and just about midway through the
production cycle GM saw fit to make a few changes,such as the
switch for the alarm system was moved from front fender to the door
lock and I think this is when the change was made to the T-Top
weatherstrip also.Really its not a big deal.

two easy ways to tell: one is to look at the A/C unit in the pass fender well......the early one is two parts where the later one is a one part unit and the middle of the unit is crimped together...also the radiator overflow tanks are different

With the weatherstripping on the T-Tops, there is a different number of holes to attach to, plus reinforcement (I think).
Post the last 6 digits of your VIN number and we can tell what month your Vette was made, which might help.
