Default 2004 targa top

I have someone who is trying to sell a clear targa top from his sold 2004 that has never been on the car. He said that a 2000 and a 2002 came by to purchase it but it didn't fit, was there deference in the 04, or as I think did the dealer gave him a 05 (C6) by mistake.

If it was never used the weatherstripping may be very hard if it was not maintained while stored. Try massaging in some di-electric silicon grease or spray a few times and see if it will loosen up at all.

All of the targa roofs for C5s should be interchangable but when I went to go pick one up extremely cheap from a local it did not fit on my car. There are a few adjustments that can be done to the roof as well as your windows in order to try to fix the problem.

Here's some links to some adjustments:

Sometimes adjustments have to be made in order for the top to fit a different car. There were no differences in the targa tops during the C5 run.

As Jack said, it'll have to be adjusted. They're all the same from 97 to 04!
