Default T Top locks

Just recieved a set of t-top locks. They are supposed to fit ANY 68-82 t-top. Well, they don't fit mine.

I have an 82 with the mirrored glass tops. The locks are supposed to slide over the existing handle but my handles are wider at the front than the back while the locks are set up for a handle that is the same width front to back.

Does anyone know what year the handles changed to the design with a wider section at the front? Anyone have an 82 with the locks installed?

I quote from the ad: "These Premium T-Top Locks safeguard ANY 1968-82 Corvette (glass, fiberglass, Saratoga), Hurst or American (Camaro, etc.) T-top from theft."
