The plexiglass roof panel on my 97 c5 is cracking. Just the top layer seems to be cracked and the crack is getting longer all the time. Is there anyway I stop further cracking or do I have to buy a new panel. As I am retired I really hate to spend the money for a new one. The car only came with one top so puting on the painted one is not an option for me.

You can pick up a nice used one for around 4-6 hundred bucks.

I don't know of any way to fix them - replace seems to be your only option. You can buy new from GM (call Gene at gmpartshouse), you can buy used (check out c5 parts section) or I believe there are other vendors that make new non GM ones (google).

I had the same issue with my C4 years ago. No way to repair them.

There is a rebuild/exchange service through either Mid America or Ecklers. I went that direction and it worked very well.
