Arrow Anyone here has a 93 with t-tops?

I've read in the 93 differences list that the t-tops on the 93 should have a dot-matrix pattern on them.
My 93 has t-tops with no dots whatsoever, so I'm wondering if the tops are original. (another interesting thing is that the key does not work on the t-tops)

It may seem logical that the t-tops are not original since the key doesn't work, but the key is also not original (made by some shop after the previous owner lost the original set) so I'm trying to figure out if the key wasn't made properly or the t-tops aren't original...

Maybe the keys were made for the original tops before they were replaced. I'm guessing your tops are not original, but even aftermarket ones com with the dot matrix.

No clue, but the t-tops don't have a single dot on them.

Sounds like the last owner forgot to latch them down one day and they got airborn He probably got them used from another year car and didn't bother getting new locks and key for it. I wouldn't either for the hassle it's worth plus I think I've maybe once used the lock on my tops.

Hmm.. well... what could they be from?
My 95 t-tops are definetely different. How do your 97 tops look like?
Thanks.

They are black with a solid tint pattern. Looks just like the one in your pic.

OK Thanks. They must be 96+ then.

I was going to take them to a locksmith, but I won't bother. I never locked them on the 95 anyway. But I did read once that someone lost them (latched) on the highway... No idea how that could happen though...
