All the tops for the C5 were the same for all years and the same for the C6.

See Through Tops
Over the years since 2002 I have somehow managed to collect 3 of the see through tops for C5 and C6 cars. I just bought a 20011 G.S. and one of the tops fits perfectly so it's on the new car. The other two seem to have a different profile and don't fit this car.
I have finally decided to sell the remaining tops, but I am no longer sure what they belong to. The possible suspects are a 2002 C5, a 2005C6, and a 2008 C6. The two that don't fit the GS both have an overall smooth profile, while the one that does fit has a "raised" portion, about 4'' wide, on the two outboard edges where it meets the windows. This seems to match the body of the car.
My question is: Does anybody know how to tell what the other two are from or what they will fit?
Thanks
Tony

If they are kind of a double bubble look, they are C5 tops, if they are smooth across the top w/ no creases or "bubbles" then they would be C4 tops. C4 tops have no latches so that would be an easy way to tell. Probably C5 tops.
