Default Coupe RPO codes

Some of you are going to get a chuckle out of this question but I'm willing to accept that. My NEW to me 2000 C-5 has the RPO code C2L Dual removable roof package. I took that to mean two (2) removable panels made a complete roof, like "T" tops. I thought this since my C-5 came with only the blue tint transparent top. I was thinking that maybe the dual tops had been stolen. Now, I'm thinking that RPO C2L means my as built C-5 came with both a painted top and the blue tint. Can anyone clear this up for me? Thanks and you can stop laughing now.

Both tops means that there were two separate tops, the blue tinted top and a painted top - each one is one piece. If the painted one is missing, it's possible that it was damaged when a previous owner failed to latch the top and it flew off, making him a member of the FRC - Flying Roof Club. But again each top - the tinted one and the painted one are each one piece tops......

Thanks BLACKSEDAN87
I know it sounded dumb but I just didn't think dual meant twp tops until I saw RPO codes listed a little differently. The first listing I saw said "Dual removable roof panels." The one I read last night showed "Dual removable roof package." That's what got me thinking I had it wrong, and as you point out, I was wrong. Thanks again.
