Default Are all Targa tops the same?

Is there any difference between a 2000 targa top and a 2004? Should there be no problem using an 04 roof on an 00 coupe?

For the body-colored targa tops, are all the headliners black, or do the 50th anniversary and/or 2004 C.E. cars have a shale headliner?

They might all fit, but i do not believe they are exactly the same. On mine the little tab that holds back the windows is in a completely different location than many I've seen. But mine car was a Beta, so obviously very early and they probably changed it. Funny tho, I don't really have any wind or leaks, so I wonder why mine was deemed unacceptable. Dunno. Mine's the plastic top, by the way.

They are all the same. You may need a Torx driver to adjust a new top, however, for perfect fit. It only takes a few minutes.
