Default INFO ON CONVERTIBLE HARDTOP

I've been considering the hardtop from CORVETTE AMERICA for my convertible. The price is around 3k. I wondered if anyone has bought one, seen one, or gotten any feedback regarding build quality or problems with this product. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone! :flag :flag

Great to be able to switch between a convertible and a hardtop just for apperance.Total cost around $4000 for the Caravaggio and $1000 less for the Smoothline top. Do a search, there are several post in the archives.

The top sold by Mid America is the Smoothline top, last summer the top sold for $2K. Try the company, you might still be able to get a deal. I went with the Caravaggio top because of the rear window look, that resembles a FRC.

Hey, C5GREENWOOD:

You've been a busy boy today, but you don't seem to get around to answering this concern from LT4DRIVER posted this morning:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=360470

I recently tried to order a replacement piece for my GC4 package and have received nothing but empty promises and excuses. You would think that they would have the tooling to whip something up but apparently not. I even told them that I needed it for before Carlisle but I guess they don't care because I didn't even get a call back.
I'm sure your busy schedule would permit a LITTLE time to check into this. :rolleyes:

I e-mailed him & offered a resolution. We strive to make every customer happy. :)
You didn't answer in the thread he posted, so I (wrongly) assumed you were ignoring him.

Sorry. :cheers:
