Default T-tops
On the C3's, am I correct that there are two types of T-tops? The two latch style that fit '68 - '77 and the single latch style that fit '78 - '82?

Thanks,
Adam

Early 77 is like 68 up but late 77 is a little different, weatherstrip and mold is different.

Ahh... but the tops are the same, just a different seal? I know the headliners changed over the years as well, but I think the mounting points are still the same?
