Replacement Top

What ClubCar tops will fit on my Pre 81 cart?

All the tops i see dont attach like mine (see pic) Back mount points are 90 degrees

I have no problem replacing the hardware if needed


Thank you

Thank you

Since you said pre 81, do you have a Caroche?

Its not a Caroche, Its a DS. I didnt even know what a carcohe was until i saw your post and googled it

There are only two different roofs for DS's that I know of,
From 85 to 2000, they're flatter w/ribs and have aluminum supports, (old style)
2000.5 to 2010 DS's have a domed roof, w/black supports. (new style)
It's kinda' how I can tell the year of them from a distance...
however, my 2007 has the old style roof, (but, it, in itself, is a slightly different animal)

It's to my understanding that either roof will fit on any year cart, as long as you have the proper supports for it!

It looks to me that the previous owner of your cart used whatever rear supports that would work with your box!

Here's a couple pics... old style roof, and new style roof!

Ok, do you have a serial number to verify the year? It should be under the dash on a metal tag. I think DS production began in 82. Since its a DS, either style old or new will fit, but you must use new supports with new roof style and vice versa

No serial number, Not sure of the year. The rear supports came with the box. I need to figure out the correct combination Roof - Front support & Back supports

Thank you

Just curious... what seems to be the problem with what you have now?

[In4nI]

The top i have now is old and ragged, Its cracked and brittle

In that case, all you need it a replacement old style roof panel, with no supports, (it'll be cheaper that way) and you'll be good to go!

Having a hard time finding one, I would prefer black however white would be ok to

All the tops i see online dont have the back supports at 90 dgrees like mine

Thank you
