Default Transparent Roof

By far GM Direct has the best price for a transparent roof. Anyone have any issues with them. Beating others by $300 bucks...

Thanks

When you check the prices, also check shipping charges. I was looking at some things at GMPARTSDIRECT and saw they had extremely high shipping fees for what I was looking at. Prices were good, but shipping high. Just a thought.

I dealt with them before. In some cases they are worth it but others you will get screwed. I think it is actually some dealer in NC or somewhere back east.

I just got my new glass top from Gene Culley this week. $1195 +$65 shipping. The important thing is, it arrived undamaged!!!!!! You might have to do some adjusting of the rear screw latch and front attach points.

The box it came in looked like the UPS gorillas played soccer with it but the top was undamaged. Gene has the best prices and reasonable shipping.

The transparent top that I ordered on my 08 coupe creaks like crazy on the drivers side. The transparent top that came on my 05 never creaked.
