Hello, I am about to order parts to replace my convertible top and I see there are two different sizes for convertible top cables. My car is an 89 By the way. I don’t know if this will help but it was manufactured in June 1989. I attached a photo of it also in this thread.
Any help would be appreciated

Best Regards,
89FoxFan

Can you measure the current one in your car?

The shorter cables are the ones you need if your top stops at the very top of the windshield frame. The latter tops 90 or 91 to 93 hung over and almost touched the bottom of the windshield frame.
