glass top

Does anyone have a good way for restoring the "glass" top on a 2000 corvette coupe.. I can no longer see out of the roof: everything is really cloudy and the transparency is pretty much nil. . At one time I could look up thru the top and see the traffic signals, the sky , etc. etc.

I did mine using the above link. It turned out very nice. I have before and after pics in my photo gallery if you want to take a look.

Thanks to all for the links. Seems that this is an inherant problem with the C-5'S. Wow, great job Jonathan. It is a lot of sweat, blood and tears it seems, but by the looks of the finished product it's worth it.Might just out of curiosity ask a body shop for a quote.Again thanks to all. The Corvette Forum is amazing.Never lets me down when I need to find something out. plunkman
