Manual vs Power Top Parts

Short answer: The power and manual convertible-top frames differ in more than just the cylinders — the roof side rails (and their welded brackets and levers) are different. Fitting power cylinders to a manual frame bends the side linkage, so if you’re converting, it’s usually easier to swap the entire frame. The front header bow and cross bars appear to be shared.
