Folding Top Clips not all the same

Post by Torxx »

FYI

Has anyone else figured out that the folding top clips (that hold the top to the windshield) are not all the same. Mine were cracked on my ’79 so I bought some replacements used from an unknown year. A first look they appear identical, but, after experimentation and a closer examination the replacement pieces are a tad shorter. They will clasp, but much effort is required. I am now in the market for clips that are designed for the ’79 spider. I hope I can find them?

A closer look revealed that mine are 1/8th inch longer than the replacements I bought. The front portion of the clip that hooks on the windshield is the where the extra length is.
