I talked to a friend of mine that works for a automotive glass company that makes the rear glass for corvettes. He said the C7 is going to be a three piece design.

a single rear and two small sides??

Clearly they're going for a double-split window
I hear the middle one will have a screen and slide to either side.

S'vette

but will the screen be motorized?

You are correct one large and two small.

Racer X

This in line with what we have seen. One large rear glass and a rear quarter window on each side.

It's not going to be any fun loading that rear cargo area, unless they're doing something really clever with the side windows.

If three pieces are true, which is somewhat suggested by the covered hatch area with vents on the C7 test car video, there is three possible side window choices. Fixed and not operable, swing out for ventilation, and operable up and down. All could be designed keeping the B pillar as is in the C6 or even cover it on the leading edge.

A new look that could be designed not to cost too much and still leave a large access through the center in the back. The B pillar halo has been around too long like the pop ups IMO. Time for a change.

One of my all-time favorite GM cars! So the three piece window parts are already in the system. Will look great on the C7.

I love that Olds! Great pic, thanks for posting it.

Your mission, Mr. Phelps, is to get a sketch or a photo of the rear window . . . .

The Ford GT has 2 rear glass panels - One on the clamshell and one that separates the driver from the engine. Mayyyyy beeeeee the C7 is a mid engine after all where the clamshell is a split window and the 3rd being the separation between the drivers cabin and the engine bay.

You mean like this??? PLEASE SAY IT AIN'T SO!


So we have a C7 with a Camaro rear end and Mustang rear windows?

That ^ is sort of what I'd pictured in my mind when I read the first post as well.

But this:

Or even this:



is more along the lines of what has been hinted at thus far in the Jalopnik or spy photos.

That Viper is incredible!

It is the old one refreshed. Is that evolution or revolution?

jackhall99

If the middle one is not screened and motorized, the Corvette is DOOMED!

SanDiegoBert

Evolution, obviously.

They did a great job on it!

I was never a fan of the clown shoe rear, but the diffuser makes it look much better, I'm fairly certain we will see a rear diffuser on the c7 too.
