convertible question....

Forgive me here but I am at my wits end. I bought my first C5 a couple of months ago and today my best friend bought an 02 Z06. Now I am really not a convertible lover too much, but I do love that piece right behind the seats that blends down into the console. I know those are for verts but is there a company or someone who can manufacture one that fits in regular C5's?? I know this may sound odd but I cant even find out what the part is even called....

a little help would be appreciated..

First, welcome to the forum. Some folks here have modified their interior to accept the "waterfall", but it takes modifying the hatch area also.

GM calls it the "Waterfall" it's a throw back from the '60's style Vettes. Same with the passenger's side grab rail on the dash. I haven't seen anyone mod their Z's with this. I think you'd have to get the cover that covers the top once down also. The lid is a tauneau cover. Plus the waterfall that attaches the tauneau to the console. Hope that helps and spelling is correct.

I have seen a "partition waterfall" for coupes and FRC's. I believe that it was either in the MidAmerica or Ecklers catalogue.
They definitely do make an aftermarket one for non verts!

That is one of the styling features that I truly love on the C5 verts.

I know what you mean. I like the looks of the waterfall on the vert and never understood why they didn't do a similar piece on the coupe. Some owners just stick an emblem on the back part of the console to make it look almost like a waterfall.
