Default No Second Top Delivered - Question for others in the same boat!

My dealer has kept the $1400 that payed for the second top and has said that he is not sure what will happen. I told him that what needs to happen is that he should deliver the GM second top. The plant subtracted the item from the sticker however sent a second sticker with the second top one it! He will not give me that sticker. I told him that when the second top comes in I would like that sticker that is equal to the order. No reply. Has anyone else in this situation got an idea what the dealers will do in this case?

I am surprised there were two stickers for your car. I never heard of such a thing before.

GM deleted the dual top option on my C6. It was delivered with only the painted top. And the sticker reflected that. That's all I paid for.

Now I will try to find a plexiglass top when they start to be available from "Mr. Goodwrench".

My car came in exactly the same way, The dealer deducted the $1400 and gave me the option to buy the second top at dealer cost when they become available through parts. Mine also had two stickers one reflecting my original order and another without the top. I have both. My dealer may be a bit greedy(not too bad compared to others) but those guys have gone out of their way to help me with stuff like this.

Suggestion for redandwhite: Why don't you post your clear top on Ebay and let us all bid on it?

Default Mixup On Accylic Top Option C2l

Anybody like my self who ordered C2L and it was deleted from your Order will receive the OPTION from GM to Buy the Acrylic Top when the Supply reaches acceptable levels which I WAS Personally told will be within 60 Days.. if not SOONER.. Evry Purchaser will get a one time offer from GM at a price of $750.00 including shipping and when accepeted the top will be delivered to the Dealer you purchased your Vette from....Thats why the Offer (Cost $750.00) to Buy has to be in or around $750.00......I will wait the time if I have to--my offer was to Expedite the Processs.

This happened to me. Who is supposed to send me this memo? Do I have to ask the dealer for it or will GM mail me? I don't want to miss this offer. That would be a great deal.

I seem to remember hearing somewhere that they switched to only doing one top per car for the time being to speed up production rates.

I've got a transparent top I'll swap for a painted Precision Red top. Price difference is negotiable. Send email to jpatters@charter.net .

Tip for anybody trying to ship the tops -

You can't pack them well enough. Shippers tend to drop the crates/boxes right on the corners, which cracks or breaks the top at the back corners, sometimes breaking the corners off.

I've seen two 'Vette tops killed by a shipper.

For what it's worth.
