Default Transparent top question!
My C6 should be coming in next week and I was wondering, I got the two top option (soild and transparent), so......

Does a storage cover come with either so I can protect it while I am not using it?

Thanks!

Nope. C6 rule #27. If you are fortunate enough to have 2 tops, you must take the “off duty”top to your bed each evening. Goon on you enjoy.

Do you know if the tops will fit in a C5 transparent top cover/bag?

Is in the process of making storage bags for the tops and you will be able to hang it up on your garage wall or wherever you put the covered top. Give em a call let them know All the work they do is custom.

Yes, it does. It's a very expensive cover called the hatch area of your C6.

My issue is I have a bag for my C5 top right now, but have a buyer for it.

I don't want to sell it if my new top will fit in it.

Anyone know for sure?

Default top storage bag
I don't know about the C5 bag, but I just purchased a C6 top storage bag from PFYC.COM.

If you have a coupe, I see absolutely no reason to have a solid top. No it's not hot in the summer if you have A/C; Ive had a transparent top in SoFla for 8 years.

I still have the one C6 and almost had another one today but the dealer in Indiana wanted to charge me sales tax for god's sake!!

Seems the C5 is a slow mover these days. I have it at $38K.

Good deal on the top and happy it all worked out. Thx.

One advantage to having to buy the transparent top separately, it came in a box with custom shaped foam. Also known as a free storage container.

Note: While the roof fits in the back of a C6, the box it comes in does not. Don't ask how I got it home.
