Targa Top
Folks, looking for a good Targa top for my 1997. The top I have was of the blue tint variant. It has been compromised by a roof collapse. The car is fine other than a pretty decent hit on top and also the left quarter panel is damaged. Anyway, do the aftermarket targas offered by Corvette Mods fit? Any one actually buy an after market that can comment? Thanks!

Is your targa frame broken? I assume yes?
If it's not you can have the lens portion redone and use your existing frame. It will be like new.
I wouldn't buy anything that costs more than about 10 bucks from Corvette Mods. In other words don't buy anything from them in an amount you're not willing to throw away.

Yes, the Frame has been compromised
Good to know! I see the tops available on fleabay, but again, I'm not sure of the product? I would even go with one that needs to be painted and do away with the transparent one.

Post a wanted to buy thread in the C5 Parts for Sale/Wanted section stating you are looking for a targa top (either solid or transparent).
Also, Melrose Tops sells transparent tops - not sure about solid ones.
