Re: Hatch Shade Poll (R94 LT 1)
Just checked on the '96.
Looks like the 'tard "double handle" system is still in place.
I'd have never known if it wasn't for this post. What a weird thing for GM to spend its money on.

Wow. 129 views and only 10 votes. Wonder how many didn't even realize there was a shade back there? :jester

Re: Hatch Shade Poll (R94 LT 1)
I have two on my '95. I wouldn't have known there was one underneath unless I saw this post. Very cool, however, with the handle on the top I'm not sure I'd ever use the one on the underside, to me it almost seemed hard to reach? :cheers:

Re: Hatch Shade Poll (Scoob)
1985 - Two handles. I've brought this up to some very Corvette knowledgable people before and always got a blank stare. Most couldn't even imagine what I was talking about. I'd just have to show 'em. Seems that most people have never even noticed this double-handle.
I have yet to discover *WHY* the factory did this.
I even posted a picture of the handles on this page (middle of page) about 4 years ago in the hopes that somebody could explain it:

Re: Hatch Shade Poll (LWesthaver)
From all the posts and the wide span of model years with two, I'm taking it they were suppose to have two from the factory and those with one/or none have just had them broken off.
