Default 2016 C7 only

I been reading on some other forums and here also here, that so of the items we purchased ,like transparent targa tops, say the fit 14 t thru 18. I found out that is not correct. We order a top and it said 14/18 and it had squeaks and raddles and hardware did not ever adjust correct. Just wondering if anyone else has ran into this with other items? Found out some of the other years have not been updated and some have. Just for FYI

Nothing to do with the model year of the car or the top. Plenty of years squeak and plenty do not regardless of year. All years of C7 are interchangable. Later cars have an update that is supposed to reduce squeaking. The black ones are the old style, the grey ones are the new style.
