Default Need to replace roof panel...

A follow up question...I need to replace the glass roof panel on our
99 coupe. Since it "flew off" yesterday, it is slightly damaged at the two rear corners. I've checked out several suppliers and it appears that you need to have an undamaged "core" to send them as part of the deal. Since it's damaged I assume I cannot do that.

Can anyone please give me some info on where I can get a good quality replacement glass panel at a reasonable price?

Thanks

May find a good deal on e-bay, or you can check in the parts for sale section here on the forum.

eBay, but you get what you get. The For Sale section here has them every once in a while. Curious......Have you tried your insurance?

I do have a call into my insurance company for a comprehensive claim. Haven't heard back yet. I have a $250 deductible if they do pay for the rest of it.

If you haven't bought a new one already, I'd continue to search e-bay, the parts for sale section, or even go to Corvettes at Carlisle next month. Heck, it's just right down the street from you anyway.

Check out the C5 Parts for Sale section - roof panels are on there all the time and usually for a very good price.
