Default C6 Hardtop for Convertible

I'm wondering if anyone knows much about the hardtops available in the aftermarket for the Corvette Convertible. I have seen them for the C5 and thought that might be helpful for the winters and at higher speeds on the autobahn as I am living in Germany right now. Does anyone know any negatives toffset the bennifits or which brands to look for that might be better than others? Thanks.

You should ask this question over on the C5 forum. Since no one has a C6 in hand and the manufacturers probably haven't developed C6 versions, your best hope of getting info is over there.

I'm sure some one will make one, but with the new C6 top being strong enough to meet Fed fixed roof rollover standards you should be fine on the autobahn.

Where do you live?

Heidelberg Area and mine should be the only one around for a while (when it does arrive). I got 1 of the few allocated here and only 2 in this town were sold, the other is being picked up in the states. Heidelberg does have a ton of C5s around though. One of my next steps is to find the best place for service here. Anyone know?
