Factory hard tops have a raised area on the each side of the bottom
rear lip to clear a lift-a-dot pin. Also there is a ridge line above
the window opening. If you remove the rear mounts on the back of one
of the plates there will be a serial number. Other than spiders in
the fiberglass I do not know of any other unique items.
