Default Figuring out early-mid-late production of VIN tag?

Is there any way to look at the sequence number on the vin to figure out what part of the year the car was produced? I have a 86 that needs another roof panel and a couple of buddies heading to carlisle that were going to look for one for me, but i guess they changed the mounts on them mid or late 86. My car is about a hour away, so i cant just go look and see what kind of mounts i have. Any help would be greatly appreciated. scott

You can't rely upon the VIN for identification.

here's very good images of the hardware types and there's likely 50+ websites that offer similar!!
