Removable Top Question
I am thinking about getting a matching Pewter color top for my 00' C5 and would like to know the best place to order one.
How much do you think it will cost and do you think there will be any problems with the top locking correctly and not leaking?
Also, is there any place to send my removable glass top to that will take out scratches and/or refinish and how much do you think that would cost?
Is this something that would have to go through the dealer?

There are several places that sell or refurbish the tinted tops in either black, blue, or gold. I recently saw an ad from astrotops.com that mentioned standard painted tops. When I got on their website, it said to call about this item.
I'm wanting an Arctic White top, but have had no luck so far.

Some adjustments may likely be required, but properly adjusted the solid top should lock correctly and not leak. Following from the C5 Tech Tips section of the Forum:
C5 Removable Roof Adjustment
For used tops, watch the C5 Parts for Sale/Wanted section of the Forum or try Gene's Kar Shop, a Forum supporting vender.
For new tops, one of the following Forum supporting venders/dealers will likely have some of the best prices:
Fichtner Chevrolet
Parts Manager: Bob Wendorff
800-234-5284
E-Mail: parts@fichtnerchevrolet.com
Fred Beans Buick Pontiac GMC
Parts Manager: Gene Culley

Good luck.
