Flags on C5 convertible
In shows and parades I have seen vert owners put standing flags on their windshield frame (top down of course). It appears they are attached to the top hardware (on the windshield of course) somehow. Does any one know any more about this? Is it home made or??

Is that one that normally fits on the side window of any car and you close the window? Or does it attach to the latch assy on the windshield?

yep, it's just the kind that snaps on the windows when they are up...I wouldn't trust it on the windshield at road speed but in parades, no problems.
Nice car! 2000 NBM Vert!

Thanks for helping me...all good now. jdvann: I see you are in Idaho. I am in Central and Western WA. Mebbe sometime this summer we meet somewhere for pics of the "twins"? Although I do not have the Z-06 ducts....

The Z06 ducts were installed by a Previous Owner, since I don't track the car it really is a wasted effort but looks kinda cool.
Here's a chance! A great time to be had by all....
