There is a retro kit for the windshield attaching points and I think it includes some brakets for installation on the B-pillars. There are not attaching points on the 87 from the factory so thes parts are needed to be able to attach the hardtop brackets to the body pillars.

This was mentioned in a thread recently. Try doing a search on convertible hardtop.
