My wife does nothing and says "Corvette hair and I just don't care".
Otherwise it's windows up LOL.

What she wears when the top is down
My wife tried the corvette ball cap I bought for her with her hair gathered and out the back of the cap. This worked pretty good but complained it was uncomfortable. She switch to a straw hat with a strong elastic ban on the inside. Having natural curly hair this worked great. My first add on to my C5 SE was a Windrestrictor which made a big difference. We put the top down most of the time. Enjoy the road!!

One of these days I need to try the hatch release trick going down the road and see if that stops the noise and warbling.
I swear I've read a few times over the years that it works with the C5.

Noise and warbling? In a coupe?

With the targa top off, and anything over about 50mph. Yes. It will blow your eardrums out.

Oh. That. The fix for me was always to move my seat or lean so my head was in a different spot out of that buffer spot. But I didn't experience it much. Or to drive faster.

Is the Ventmaster that holds the rear window open still a thing?
