Default ???? Remove Stripes from Glass top...

So the question came up when John in FL and I were completing his 2015 Stingray order, just got from the musuem by the way - congrats John, looking forward to your pics!

He had asked if the full length stripes go over the glass top. I told him I had one on order and assumed hey would - well they do. Not sure if he is keeping his that way…

WHAT ARE THOUGHTS?!?!

I like the stripes even though I didn't order them. They look good, including on the B-pillar, but not on the glass. They'd come off the glass top if it was my car.

Rick- any body shop can take them off safely, goo gone also will do it without hurting the plastic although it will be tedious keeping the leading adhesive edge irrigated.

So if you order dual tops and stripes, are there stripes on both tops???

gues would be no since you are only paying for one stripe kit, they would go to the primary top (CF or Painted (CF)...imo

My house has no stripes on the windows - I prefer my vehicles the same way.

Why would GM do that? Kind of defeats the purpose of the glass top if you can't see through the entire top.

Stripes look good on the car, but definitely not on the top. Kind of surprised GM would do that.

That's nuts! But then again, I don't even like them on the car.

I like the stripes on the car, but definitely not on the glass top. I'd have to take them off if it were my car.

I really like the dual stripes on the stingray but no way I would want them on the clear top....

Stripes on the clear top = fail. What were they thinking?
