Default 05 Solid Roof

I sat in an 05 a while back with a solid roof and is it my imaganation or, is it see thru from the inside? I ordered one in March, but will most likely get an 06 in Sept. The dealer swears it is completely solid. Anybody?

Thanks.

Sounds like you sat in a transparent top, it looks black from the outside but see-thru from the inside...

There is no way to see through a solid top...

Standard roof is solid, painted body color. You can order a transparent roof in place of the solid color roof for $750. If you want both roofs, the price will be $1,400.

Default 05 Solid Top

The car I sat in was Machine Silver. I must have been dizzy with the car. I could swear that it was tinted from the inside. Oh well, I just fine with the solid. Thanks folks.
