My GTO ragtop has its original convertible rear power antenna, when I added a power antenna to my 69 LeMans ragtop I found a 69 hardtop unit. I ordered the upper bezel, gasket and nut repro and installed the unit.
The only parts that are different that I could see is the upper adapter (below the quarter panel hole, the bezel (the chrome tapered bezel between the body and the chromed nut). Once installed you'd never notice any difference between the two and they are both water tight. The only difference in the installation is that when mounting the unit in a ragtop the whole assembly is cocked 90 degrees different (I believe clockwise viewed from above) from a hardtop. I had to unscrew the adapter that bolts with three screws to the top of the antenna body tube. I left it unscrewed, installed the antenna, turned the adapter till it seated nice marked the a hole then re-drilled the tube and reinstalled the screws. I wouldn't pay more and/or wait forever to find a convertible unit. The hardtop unit works and looks perfect.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
