Hi just wondering whether the hardtops for 996 Cabriolet's are all 'interchangeable'?

i.e. will a hardtop from a 996 Carrera fit a 996 Turbo?


Many thanks in advance for the answer

2004 hardtops have a different fitting, screw rather than pin, so a turbo cab will have the late type.
Cheers.
To clarify - does this mean that a 2004 996 Carrera hardtop would fit a 2004 996 Turbo, but a 2003 996 Turbo hardtop would not fit a 2004 996 Turbo?

I think that's the case.
I also think a conversion kit is available to update older hardtops.
Is this the same conversion kit that is used to get a 996 hardtop to fit a 997?
(Do the 2004 996 Hardtops have the same 'fittings' as 997 hardtops?)

I think the design was only changed once so yes, that'd be the kit.
Anyone know where this kit can be purchased from?
