If you are referring to the one that's got those nasty white tabs all around....you're right! The fit sucks and to even GET it to fit I had to whittle off quite a bit of the tab material.
But, it does keep that hot ol sun off me in the summer. If I want more air, I simply take the top off. I'd trade it in a heartbeat for a solid torch red one.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's not in love with the glass top -- I found a solid one in NBM and sold the glass one that came with the car. Prior to that I tried the Mid-America insert and was pretty disappointed -- even once I got it to fit there there were still gaps around the edges, and it sagged a bit in the middle.
The solid top is SO much better in my opinion. Keep your eyes on the classifieds; I found mine for just $375. I've heard you can get one painted pretty reasonably inexpensivley, too, if you manage to find one that's not the right color.

there's a company in c-6 section that makes a padded insert, But so far none for c-5's. i believe the name is downsouthvettes or something like that. Maybe if enough asked they would be interested.

If your glass one is in great shape, you can sell it for a pretty penny. Just buy a solid one that is scratched up. You'll get a great deal on it and can paint it to match your car. When it's all done, you'll have what you want and probably have a couple bucks in your pocket
