I'm thinking of getting a germanexinc top for my Spider but I am confused by the "rounded' and "square" cornered description. I looked at my 79 and it kinda fits both desriptions. Lol
Can someone help me out and show me pics of what both look like?!? It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Germanexinc Tops
The '79 Spider had the rounded header bow.
The older Spiders had a pointed corner. See http://www.fiatconvertibletop.com/ for a graphic showing the differences.

Re: Germanexinc Tops
Be careful - one of my 79's has the round and one has the square. They changed types that model year. When you look closely, you will see exactly what is meant. The square corners come to a 90 degree point- the round curves in and meets the side rail.spidernut wrote:The '79 Spider had the rounded header bow.
