Dont worry, people from MD are dicks, especially Laurel.
Yes you can put a hardtop on any cabrio, just need to install parts. there are some electrical contacts and i think some other parts that need to be installed on the car to accept the hardtop.

All verts have the hard top receptacles from the factory. As long as the top you buy is complete with mounting spikes, you're golden, nothing else to buy. The little black rubber plug in the vert top hinge flap area pulls out, and that's where the hard top post goes in and quarter turns to lock with 11mm wrench. There is a special spanner wrench to adjust the hard top, but it's not necessary for mounting and adjustment could probably be done without it anyways.

Almost. It may just be the early verts but not all of them have the receptacles for hardtops. I had to buy a set for my 87 vert because it just came with little holders for the rubber plugs.

Weird. Not saying you're wrong, but I've had 2 87's that had them, my 89 had them, and a 91 318ic that had them. And I've seen plenty in junkyards and stuff. Never seen anything but the factory recepticals.
