Roof Panel Fix
Previous owner introduced her into the flying roof panel club (I know what your thinking, but, no I did not do it... yet....) Tried to attach pics but for some reason posting rules says I cannot attach files. One side is just cracked and maybe epoxy will fix it. The other side has a small chunk missing and will have to be filled with something. Dude tried to fix it and repainted it with flat black paint. 
Is there any way to fix this??? I have other things I need to to before I drop the cash for a new one so if there is a way I can repair this for now I will do that and maybe get a targa next spring. Thanks. BTW. Corvette weekend in Eureka Springs Arkansas this weekend 
(did I just hijack my own tread???

Is it the acrylic top, or the hard top?
Here is what I did for the solid top...

Thanx stalion. Nice fix. Its a hard top. I don't know if its made of plastic or fiberglass. I was not sure if I needed to use bondo or fiberglass resin to fix it or something else. Yeah jrose I may just end up taking it to a shop but was going to try & see if I could fix it myself. Thanx.

Yes, you can paint the lexan top. The procedure has been posted here on the forum a few times - however, if you're really interested and can't find it using the search, I have a Word file that details the process. If you'd like a copy, PM me your e-mail address.
