TOP - MINI COVERS - With the Phase II for the 1990½, the shape of the mini-covers changed. In models 1987 to 1990 ½ the mini covers were stored inside the soft cover boot well. On 1990 ½ the storage of the mini-covers was shifted to a pocket behind the seats.
TOP, Soft - Canvas exterior and fine fabric insulating liner. Black ‘87 to ‘92 with two new ‘93 options: the Montana BLUE / ‘93 BLUE; 26T and ‘93 MAROON; 76T. Robins is the recommended source for replacement material. The BOOT COVERS changed with each Phase.
TOP, ALUMINUM - Model years 1987 to 1989 were sold with both the “soft” canvas and “hard” aluminum tops. The aluminum top become an option for model years 1990 to 1993. Design of latches changed on Feb 1990 (90 ½ models) and those tops are known as the Phase II and were used until the 1992 model. In 1993, the Phase III top was introduced, the 1993 car now had no faux vent window, and the difference from the Phase II is ONLY the weatherstripping. It is reported that the weatherstrip for the Phase III is identical to the weatherstrip for the soft top. There is a consensus that for 1993 models, 330 cars were produced as dual-top cars (xPU10xxxx) but a total of 618 Phase III hardtops made in all. All 1993 hard tops are reported to have BLACK liners. Weatherstrip for the Phase III is now aftermarket item. All 1993 factory installed hardtops have vin#'s with the last 6 digits starting with 100XXX. All the 93's have VS in the vin#. In the earlier Allantés VS was a convertible only car and VR was a convertible that came with a hardtop and soft-top.
