C5 Glass Targa Top Roof...Peeling?
So this is my first summer with my Corvette, and I've noticed that the glass targa top seems to have some sort of film that is peeling. I was wondering what it is, and where/how to fix the problem. I would use the regular top, but it cracked (long story). Any advice and help would be appreciated. Thanks!

My glass targa top had the same thing clear coat peeling off what a mess. Now some guys do it on there own wet sanding different grades and polishing and even clear coating this is very time consumeing.
Anyway i went to the autobody shop last week and told them what i wanted and it turned out just great and had it back the next day.OH ya it only cost me $120.00 cash and know i didn't no the guy lol.

Exactly what did you ask for? Just a clear coat? I know I'm resurrecting an old thread, but I didn't want to mess with it during the rainy season.

I've got a few Word files that detail what others on here have done when the top starts peeling. If you want a copy of them, just PM me your e-mail address and I'll send them to you.
