I'm not modding my 2014 Stingray as I did with all my previous vette's but this will be one mod/accessory I want/buy and will increase my enjoyment of my Stingray.

Here is the one for the C6. It allows remote window control, which is very handy on a hot day. May not be as essential on a C7 vert, but still a nice option.

I got an email from Top Down this morning saying the window valet is now available for the C7 and shipping would start next Tuesday the 26th. It is also now available for 5th generation Camaros.

I will pull the unit out of my C5 before trade-in tomorrow, if I can't use it in the C7 I can offer it up for sale on the C5 site.

Thank you.
We've got them for the C7 now:
