Doesn't really matter, after 40,000 miles they burn and explode.

Default 91 top fit ????

If an 84 will not fit a 91, what years will?
Thanks

Hi
There are 3 different top years, 84-early 86 late, 86-88 and 89-96 they have different locating pins and front mounting bolt locations on the targa roof.
see below.



You will need to get the correct year windshield header brackets to fit
a later or earlier roof. I have put the 89-96 brackets on my 85 to fit the 89-96 roof panels which are more readily available, the rear brackets are the same on all years of C4's.
