Default C6 Clear Top Question

I have an 05 coupe with both tops. I plan on trading/selling it soon and wondered will the clear roof fit on say a 11 or 12 GS. As usual thanks in advance.
Jeff.

From what I can tell the parts number is the same for years 2005 through current.

Some adjustments might be needed. Or not.

I remember reading that some improvements were made to the clear top, along with better hardware, but don't remember what it was, or when. But yes, it should fit, since the car hasn't changed.

My car has 2 washers on one rear pin, and one on the other, so my guess is each Vette needs from 0 to 2 washers on each side. I'd install the hardware exactly the way it's on the stock roof.
