Clean, cut and simple. This was *PERFECT* Read that in Homelander's voice.

Thanks! Glad it helped

Well done! I had a new mid-80’s Vette years ago. I used to really enjoy the semi-open air experience with the roof panel off. I didn’t have any trouble managing the procedure by myself. It looks like to me the new panel may be lighter than what I had. I can’t understand why you almost never see people driving with the roof off; one of the coolest features of the design imho. I like the way it positively clicks in to place for storage.

I just realize i don't need to pay 7500, for a convertible.

[@PYR-Auto]

honestly I think the hardtops look better anyway but they are both cool

[@josephcarter7830]

My exact thoughts.

Awesome car! How much do you think the removable roof piece weighs?

[@PYR-Auto]

I think it’s around 15lbs

[@aaronallcaps]

@@PYR-Auto Ah I see. Thanks for the reply!

[@slideup610]

Is this the convertible version or do all C8s have removable tops?

[@PYR-Auto]

This not the convertible version - the convertible has a folding top

[@slideup610]

@@PYR-Auto Mega wow. So the non convertible version has a removable top. My new favorite super car.

[@ebayseller6040]

they do have clear top? like dark black clear top you can still see through?

[@PYR-Auto]

Yes

Removable hardtops are a pain in the arze

[@MooMoo69556]

Life’s too short to sweat an extra $7.5k, I’d rather just get the convertible. 😂

[@Pedro-sm1db]

#1. First you lower the both windows. #2. Place your hand on the Rear latch when you press the release button. So it won’t smack your hand or fingers. #3 “Notice this item” ? They are called register or alignment pins and receiver holes #4. Why didn’t you show the proper way to reinstall HT ?

Probably waiting for you to make a part 2 and drop all your hidden knowledge!

Why would anyone spend thousands of dollars to get a convertible C8 when this is so easy?

Ist doch BESCHISSEN!!!! Warum geht das nicht AUTOMATISCH??!!!
