Through the T Tops, rear deck, front fenders, either seat w/ door open, laying across my swimming pool float, etc.

Yeah clothes aren't going to be the concern, it's the fear of cracking something. I think I got enough responses to have a good idea at this point.
Thanks a lot everyone.

A few years ago I was in a homecoming parade in a coupe. The girl wanted to set on the bar behind the t-top. She was a little large and I should have said no. She didn't hurt the exterior but she did crack the interior trim.

How LARGE was she?

We used to do that all the time long ago.

Just be sure to have a very soft cloth for her to sit on or check that her clothing doesn't have anything that will scratch (rivets, beads, glitter, etc.).

Avoid the wide flat areas, like the center of the read deck near the gas filler. The convertible deck lid is fine. Heck it will support you!

Basically, you can check it out in your garage. Just put some pressure on a panel with your hands. If you feel it move, that isn't a good place to sit. But fiberglass is a lot tougher than most believe. The rear sloping deck of a mid year will support two people in the same spot. (Use your imagination.)

I'd have to say that the safest place for anyone to sit would be on "SOMEONE ELSES" Corvette!
