I'm now of the opinion that 3rd party tops will not work for 83,84 and maybe 85 cars hassle-free.
Porsche has always maintained the tops didn't change until the 993, but since the cars have been custom built especially the cab tops, small changes must have occurred and all of the 3rd party makers are using the same pattern--one for a later car I suspect that was slightly different in the rear portion.
When someone from here had a professional do it (don't remember his name), the pro ran into exactly the same problems the other guy you mentioned and I did: the rear window sags. If you pull the under lip below the rear semi-circle hold down bar all the way, it's still not tight enough. The pro found this out too.
I think the early top frame settings are narrower or something, so you're going to have to screw around with the rod adjustments.
