Quote from Marty :
INTERESTING!!!
Puzzled about the top.
The masking tape was done at the factory, and should match the last numbers of VIN.
They should be stamped on the roof frame as well.
If the stamped number equals the VIN that would be good, but still would not explain the 470 on the tape.
Switched / mismatched at dealer perhaps?? (End Quote)
Marty,
The glass top for my '90 has that piece of masking tape on it also. Written on the tape is "987". The number of my car is "0442" and the "0442" is also stamped in the frame of the glass top in the proper place. I've often wondered why the masking tape was there and why is was marked as it is.
