I have an old top for a 996 Cab. Will it fit my 997?

Thanks

I wanted a hard top for 997 and dealer had some 996 tops they were giving away. We tried, didn't fit.

I thought it did fit but I only heard it, not thru personal experience. Since you have both, try it!

Isn't there hardware needed on the cab to secure the hardtop? I thought the hardware is only available if the hardtop is ordered. Does the rear post hole have any locking mechanism? IIRC, the hardware is pretty expensive.

Rumor has it they will fit,--but you need to invest in the mounting kit for the car,--and as I understand that, those are not obtained too cheaply. By the time all is done retrofitting a top you are out some serious bucks. It's been always best to order one with the car if you can. They're about $3250 or so with the cars.
