[QUOTE=dnv]According to the black book, 1982 Option code V54 Roof Panel Carrier, 1,992 Quantity made @ $144.00. No comment in black book about this option not being available on the CE.[/QUOTE]
The CE's do have this as an option.
[QUOTE] Since they are easily removable, and you can't use them like a regular pre-1978 luggage rack, and since mine came with a gold bag that matches a CE car, I would suspect they could have been ordered on them.[/QUOTE]
I'm sorry to say that all the bags for the 82's were black with production numbers inside. Any other color was done by someone else. If not, check the NCRS people.
[QUOTE] The only way to know for sure is find a CE with the lugs already in the glass.[/QUOTE]
Our glass has no holes in them. The holes were placed behind the glass and though the fiberglass rear deck just before the rear bumper. Two holes on each side while the gas door was visable and accomadates for fillups while the t-tops are on the back strapped.
[QUOTE] I have seen Black, Red and blue bags as well. Don't know if there were other colors.[/QUOTE]
Not sure if this is true so check the NCRS people. I say only black.
[QUOTE] If the holes are in the deck, chances are, they are original. My paint guy said it would be rough to try and fill the holes, given how large (somewhat bigger than a .25 cent piece size). the hole is for them. He said any fill anyone did, even laying in the glass would cause cracking over time.
Does your friends car have the lugs? If not, I would strongly suspect that it didn't come with that option.
[/QUOTE]
If there were four holes behide the glass window in the fiberglass deck then it's an original option.
Besides I wouldn't fill the holes up. You never know where you'll find a t-top holder.
