[QUOTE=Bubba91]Could you check this link and see if you see them.
Thanks,
don't see em there, they show track for captains chair that appears similar but theirs has extraneous gadgetry...i'll be at my favorite yard monday or tuesday (gotta pick up rear quarters for a firebird ) and can see what they want for em if you'd like...shipping will probably be almost as much as the parts...nothing local to you?

i've been wondering about this same thing. I have the clear top and if I lost two inches there is NO way I'd fit with the solid top. I'm 6'3" but have shorter legs 33" pant legs. My head hits the clear top everytime I hit a hard bump. Rather annoying, and the seat backs don't fit me right. My friend is 6"1 and the car fits him perfectly. He says the seat backs feel awesome. To me the head rest is like way too low and my upper body is much larger than his. His legs are longer.

Thanks to all who answered. Especially JEFINLSA! I got my problem solved!
I bought a very nice used Targa top from a 1995 on Ebay for $327.00 including ship and insurance. It's the original GM roof and looks great on the car.
Installed it this morning. From the seat to the top I gained about 1 1/2" which is all I needed. Much more comfortable to drive and I love the open feeling on the see-through top!
