Convertible Switch - Blue or Red

[Rcktmn94]

Hello all,
I have seen mostly e-body convertible top switches with the red dot. But, once in a while I come across one with a blue dot. What is the application difference between them? Are they supposed to be different per year or model?
Thanks,
Paul

My 71 has a blue dot. It is an early build. Most 70's are supposed to be blue. Most 71's are supposed to be red. It is a 4 screw hole mount switch. There are B body switches that are 2 or 3 screw hole mounts being sold as E switches. So beware.

challenger6pak,
Thanks for your reply. I figured it might be a model year thing. I am lucky to have a 1970 Barracuda convertible. It has a switch with a red dot. I wonder if it was switched at some point.
I never noticed that B-body switches were like the E-bodies...Good to know.

You are welcome.

My 70 has a blue dot. It's original. The car has been in the family since it was 20 months old.....and not used since 1979.

mmissile,
40 years is way too long to not drive it. I hope you get it out on the road again soon.
