Fake Roll Bars
Has anyone installed the stick on roll bars on your convertible. My question is what to do with the cloth cover that lays on the deck when the top is up. With the roll bars installed, it keeps this cloth pushed up and covers at least half of the rear view. Any solutions?

Sorry, but please enlighten me as to why you would want to install stick on roll bars on the car - doesn't seem like they would do much for you other than look like you had roll bars. Just curious.

If you haven't already bought them, get the chrome hoops that go behind the seat, you can bolt them in like regular roll bars or they come with an epoxy that you can just glue them straight to the floor. I really love the way they look and they don't get in the way of the cloth cover. With the fake roll tips that glue on the deck your pretty much screwed, you'll have to cut out the cloth cover. That's one of the big reasons I went with the chrome hoops. I love the look of them.

Thanks to those who actually had info. When I signed up for this forum, I did so because I thought that Corvette owners stuck together and were a tight nit group, but I guess I was mistaken. Didn't expect all the smart *** answers that we soooooo helpful. To all of you smart *** folks out there, go find a Kia forum for your comments, cause they don't deserve to be on a quality site. If you don't have anything constructive to say, then don't give us your stupid input.
So, in closing, thanks again to all of you who actually deserve a Corvette and are helpful to folks like me who are only trying to get some help.

If you didn't expect smart *** answers here you must be new. They are usually meant to keep people from doing stupid things to their cars. JC Whitney has a whole catalog of things that you can glue onto your car. Check it out.
