C6 Power Top in C5 conv

Has Anyone tried to retro a C6 power conv top into a C5 conv? I know the header is a different shape ,but if a C5 conv top header were used, I wonder if with a bit of work if this would be possible ? AL

So you would rather incur the expense, and possible issues, to make a C6 mechanism work in your C5 out of laziness?.......hell.....at least you're honest......

Not to mention additional weight and loss of luggage space.

I'm very happy with the manual top but it's your car.

Post pictures if you do it.

Have you actually seen a C6 power top operate. They are so slow, you could have put the manual top up and down 3 or 4 times by the time the electric top goes up or down.
