How much did the tops change over the years?

I'm trying to find another top for my 76 Midget, and I might be able to get ahold of one from a 65. Does anyone know if this will work? If this won't fit, what years should I look for?

Thanks,

Mark

65 won't work as far as I know -- the tops changed with each model change. I think they are all similar after 1967, but I'm not sure.

5 tops over the years.
Nine stud screen Bugeye (1958)
Clip under screen Bugeye (59-60)
Side curtain Square bodys (61-64)
Roll up window/take off top (65-66)
Roll up fold down 67-79 but the 67 did have that 4th Tennax
where the 68-79 used velcro. Same top pretty much.
