1978 is correct for first year fisher design, which was an integral part of the roof section. The First gen of T- Top was sliced into an existing roof. It was a little short on engineering. They had several problems. Leakage is what everyone always talks about. But also, they very easy to get in to. Since their latches were on the ends, they used an overcenter type of latch. If you gave them a sharp hit on the ends they just unlatched and voila, your were in.
The third problem was they promoted rust where they attached. FWIW
