C4 Roof
« on: January 20, 2010, 12:44:05 PM »
Need some help!

I got a new roof for my 85 but the windshield mounting points are different.  To cut a long story short, I have an 89+ roof which does not fit 84-86E or 86L-88 Corvettes as the roof mounting plates are different.

I sourced a set of 87 windshield brackets but since discovered the roof plates are 89+.

Windshield brackets measured from bolt to bolt O.C. across top of windshield frame.
·   1st design 84 - Early 86 28.5”
·   2nd design Late 86-88 31.5”
·   3rd design 89-96 32.5”

As you cannot buy the windshield brackets from Ecklers and the like, can I change the roof plates to an 89+ (can buy them aftermarket) and it all fits?

I found this post on digital Corvettes - Here

The 86L-88 plates look wider than the 89+.  


Has anyone had to muck around with this type of thing?  Does anyone have a bolt to bolt plate measurement for both 86L-88 and 89+?
