  Here's a problem for those of us who have both a C4 and a C5:  I can "swing" the targa in a C5 storage bracket quite a bit, and I accidently forgot that difference and broke the targa in my C4.  I broke a small corner from the top, which I used JB Weld to reattach.  My roof, though, is checked and needs replacement anyway.  I have been patient trolling the websites but haven't found the correct roof yet.  I have a friend with a nearly new targa, but from a late C4 -- "Annie's" a 1988 model.  I have read a couple of times, but without any confirmation, that there's a chance that a guy can switch the brackets around and get a non-compatible roof to match up to the car with "conversion brackets".  Right now, I am finally seeing new lenses listed on eBay that match pricing I was used to seeing (recently they were about twice what they used to be, so this listing $400 shipped seems great).   Is there a source I can check to determine the bracket switching process?  Otherwise I am going to buy that lens, but I think it might be wise to wait until USPS has dealt with the Christmas rush before I have the lens put into the system!

Wow!  Thank you Chevy kid.  Just what I was looking for.  Clears up all of the confusion.  Decision time now!  Thanks again.

For info on the targa brackets for the C4 try http://astrotops.com. They also sell them. They’ve been very helpful to me.
