Default C5 Coupe removable panel(s) ??

Is there just one panel to remove on the C5 coupes or an option for two panels? I would think two would make storage easier and maybe give you more trunk room. Mike

???

Are you talking about the targa roof panel?

The panel is one piece. It unlatches at three points, two front, one rear, and stows away in the rear hatch utilizing two latch prongs and two cradle cups.

Cars could be ordered with a body colored top, a tinted top, or a combination of the two. It will depend on how the car was ordered. For owners with both tops, they typically store one in a specialized holder in the garage when not in use. The roof panel itself is actually fairly light and can be handled by one person.
