The 1994-1996 dash tops are different from the 90-93 versions as they are only a dash top pad. They do not wrap around to include the lower part of the dash on the passenger side like the 90-93 versions. For this reason they are an easier part to remove from the dash, and less expensive to have a replacement shipped. If repairing a 1994-1996 car that had an accident which caused the air bags to deploy, the top dash pad will be damaged around the airbag opening and usually require the entire dash top pad to be replaced.
Both the 90-93 and 94-96 dash top pads (much more so on the 94-96) are prone to de-lamination of the pad material from the plastic base at the front windshield edge, this will be noticed as the front dash edge appears to be peeling upwards at the windshield edge. Additionally, both designs are prone to cracking at mounting holes and at the plastic around the top drivers side defroster dash vent.
