Default 3LZ guys, I have a question

Does the 3LZ Corvette package come with suede on the removable transparent roof panel (coupe cars)? Or is the transparent top the same as the rest, 1LZ 2LZ tops?

The transparent top doesn't have microsuede on it, it's just metal I think? It doesn't matter about trim level for the transparent top, the frame is the same.

??? Obviously no suede on a transparent top or else it wouldn't be transparent. The body color top has the suede covering in the 3LT

The transparent top is lexan, not metal

There is a frame that surrounds the glass. Thanks

Oops! My error. I missed the part about it being the transparent top.

Yes, you are right, its not metal. But there is a frame that surrounds the glass, plastic, lexan, etc....and my question simply surrounds whether or not the microsuede material covered the frame too. Got the answer I was looking for.

Now, why do I ask. I purchased a used Z06 and noticed the microsuede that is found throughout the car was not on the roof panel. I wondered if maybe the original panel got damaged and they replaced it with a less expensive panel. Based upon what I am reading all of those transparent panels are the same and this is just how it came from the factory. That's all. Thanks everyone for your input
