Default On the topic of roof options.

Now we've all seen the painted roof on the C6 and have also seen that the hard lines in it flow into the B-pillar. Now for my question.

Does anyone know if the transparent roof will have the same lines in the glass?

I would imagine that the top would look rather odd having sharp lines on the B-pillar stopping abruptly at the seem just before the smooth surface of the transparent roof. However, if the transparent roof does continue the lines, I think it would make for a rather interesting effect.

Don't see why it wouldn't have the same lines.

:iagree: It's part of the design of the car.

:iagree:

Unless molding those crisp lines into a glass roof is a difficult task, I can't imagine it being different.

Rumor is the clear top will be bubble shaped for very tall drivers.

Here is an artist concept

Since the transparent roof isn't glass it should be easy to mold exactly like the solid top.
