OK - I was going to let this go (but) I don't think the '89,s had these (at least not the convertible I saw). It had hydraulic lifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had hydraulic lifts. The '89 Avanti coupe would probably use the earlier rather complicated hinge, but yes, no doubt the convertible model would be different.

Stacey Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 To me when two pieces are spot welded together, it becomes 1 piece, not two seperate. But what do I know???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what do I know???? I look at it the same way.... one piece....although if someone insists it's two pieces that's allright with old mfg!
