Soft tops were made in Spain and had the G13BB engine up to around 2003-2004. The hardtops got the M13 engine around 2001 I believe. Perhaps someone can confirm?

Also, some(all?) soft tops have crankshaft sensor. At least for the G13BB engines. The camshaft sensor ring is also different. 2 lugs on the Soft top, 11 lugs on the hard top.

Plus, the ragtops look cooler
