Default Glass Roof Panel Replacement

Has anyone had to replace a glass roof panel on a C-^?

I can't fine a new one to buy for a C6. 2012 GS. I should have just bought one last year when there were a few left in the country.

Default Glass roof replacement

So are you saying there were full replacement tops? All I'm finding is just the glass panel. Does that mean I have to take my current cracked glass roof panel apart?

The glass (lexan) top either comes with all the hardware, latches, side weatherstripping, etc, or just the panel, which does include the frame and lexan panel. It's easy to remove the hardware from your old top, and transfer them to the new top.

Try these guys, some forum members have used them with great reviews, suppose I’ll be going this route also. Buying a used one which will probly end up crazing or spidering, whatever you want to cal it isn’t worth the savings.

That is a great service. I had no idea that this was even possible. That will give us options when and if required. Thanks for the link.
