Vette(s): 1987 TPI Targa. I have always wanted to own a Vette since I was a kid, and I finally bought my first one!
I have a 1987, and this past weekend, it was broken into and they
shattered my top! I bought a used top on the internet, and was told it would
fit my car. I found out that it was a top from a early 1986, and the frame is different
than the one I have! I have heard I can take it to a glass shop, and just have the frames
swapped. Any help ?

I thought the only difference was the adjustment bracket spacing for the bolts and pins on the older ones is closer together. When my top blew out (forgot I hadn't bolted it in) I got a re & re from Melrose T-Tops with mine in exchange. I like theirs better than some of the others and you should be able to get the correct brackets for the one you have.

Like Johnny, I bought mine from Astro Tops in Florence Alabama. It's about an hour drive for me so I went down thre and they even did the install and adjustments. I have had it about a year and a half and so far no complaints. It looks great and seals well. Hate it that someone did that to your car, I hope karma catches up to them soon......
