it's only the motor/trim cover and loom that are different, the mechanism itself is the same part for all Corrados, early ones have the switch in the trim cover, late ones in the light unit.

ok cool! so as he is supplying it all as one if the motor is wrong i can unbolt mine and bolt my motor on to the new mechanism?

chears for the reply mate!

The late mechanism has an indentation to clear the larger motor assembly, and the adjuster screws/washers for the roof panel are attached to the mechanism, but that's it.

 

So a late roof will work fine in an early car using the early motor/loom/switch, but you can't use an early roof in a late car without changing to the earlier motor and switch.

 

Simple... :)

Absolutely bang on. I found this out the hard way.
