Is there a difference between a manual convertible top frame and a power top frame. I would like to add a power top if possible. It's totaly dissasembled.

Thanks

Do a search on this topic. It has been covered. The top frames are different between the two. You can't add power to the manual top frame.

You can physically add the power top hardware to a manual top but it won't open and close correctly. The difference is in the center hinge and the linkage connected to it from the rear quarter area. A manual top is designed to be pulled up from the front, the power tops are designed to be pushed up from below. A manual top with the hydraulic cylinders attached will not open up or close all the way by itself, you'll have to assist it.
