Swapping hard top

I had an engine fire in my 1985 grey market 500sl. I just bought a 1979 450sl and the hard top was stolen.

Will the 1985 hard top fit the 1979 car?

I believe they are both 107's.

Since I have to get two guys to try to put the hardtop on I'd like to make sure it will fit!

I can take measurements and pics for you and post tomorrow. I'm thinking it will fit.

AFAIK, all 107 hardtops are interchangeable. Invest in a 6-pack to split with a buddy and try it out.

It'll fit. The catches may need adjusting to make it sit nice though.
