Default Second Top

I have a question. I bought my C7 two weeks ago and they had lost the second top to it and ordered me a new one. Just picked it up at the dealer and when I was placing on the car noticed there were no handles/locks on it. Is that the way they are supposed to be? Thx for the help

I think someone put in the wrong code and you got a sub component not a second top.

Seemed kind of odd that it had no handles. This is my fourth corvette and first with dual tops. Thx guys I'll be taking it back tomorrow

I have the dual roof option. Whether it's the transparent, painted CF, or exposed CF, all OEM tops are confingued the same way.

Edit: How do you lose a roof anyway...? More likely they included it in another sale.

That's what the salesman said. More than likely went with another car.

Roof panels don't just disappear at the dealership. Chances are, they had someone looking to buy one for a good price and the dealership took it from a dual roof optioned car.

Not a very good practice...
