My C5 is a Ragtop....

But my 95 was a coupe...with both solid & glass tops..

I ran the glass top 100 percent of the time..

I will admit that on some summer days I quickly started the car (black on black btw) jumped out and walked around the car until the a/c cooled the inside before I got back in and drive away...

Glass is all I have. I prefer the looks of the solid. I have a shade in mine, so functionally there's no difference... Anyone got a solid pewter they want to trade?

Got both, but I like the solid top better! Find that I sit so far ahead that I dont really notice the difference unless I really look up. I have to admit that I liked my T/A's T-Tops better, plus they're lighter for moving, and are more secure in the back with the latching mechanism.
