Earlier C5s, had a problem with the top of the door windows rubbing the top, there was a TSB on how to fix it and it was factory corrected on later models, not sure of the year though.

I've got an '01. Seems like the original owner took good care of it, and one of the first things I bought was some Raggtop cleaner and protectant. Stuff works great and top looks good as new.

Couple wear spots on mine (two 98's). But the worst thing to happen was the back window falling out of one of them
