They changed in the top frame in 2003 when they made some other design updates. The top went from 3 bow to 4 bow to allow for the use of a glass window. If you want an 03/04 top with a large glass window you need to update the frame too, and on earlier models the transmission and motors. However, there are aftermarket options for the pre-03 frames that include a glass window, but the glass is smaller to allow it to work with the 3 bow frame.
