So I had to measure both again and both the cabriolet and cabriolet top irons pivot at 48.5 inches in the body/irons. The cabriolet has a thicker door and quarter panel and has the pivot bolt in the quarter panel. The roadster has a thinner quarter panel and door and also the pivot is back 3 inches , where the body is getting wider so it is only fractionally wider then the cabriolet at the pivot. Now the cabriolet is is 22 inches from the pivot to the back window mounting area. The roadster is only 13 1/2 inches pivot to back window mounting snap surface.
In short the back edge of door on the cabriolet is 46 and the roadster is 47 because of the thickness of the cabriolet door quarter
. .. I would think the cab would be wider as well being the cab has longer doors 29 1/2 and the roadster 27 inches.....
