I don't know what qualifies as "enough interest" to keep this convertible sub-section active, but in my mind it's valuable even if there are only a few posts a week. I am still shopping for a used C7 convertible, and I have a lot to learn. I know that in the future there will be plenty of other potential buyers just like me, and it will be very helpful for them to come directly to this section to find answers to their questions.
The photos that have already been posted are helping me to get ideas for my ideal C7 convertible. Keep 'em coming! I am focused on finding the right Premiere Edition, but my mind could be changed very easily.

That's where I'm at too. Finding the right used C7 vert, or ordering a new one. Either way, I'm ONLY a vert buyer, regardless.

FIRST QUESTION for the Convertible Crowd:
I'm unclear about the Interior Alarm System. I once had my alarm go off and, upon running outside to see what was up, I found my Radar Detector had fallen from my windshield. So, I know the alarm goes off with the top up and the windows closed.
My question is: Does the alarm go off under any other conditions?
Such as...
1. The top down and the windows either up or down and someone sticks an arm inside?
2. Or, the top up with either of the windows down?
Thanks in advance for your enlightened replies!

I've had the same experience as you. Alarm goes off, top up windows closed. Radar detector fell. Would love to be able to have the alarm on with top down as I keep putting the top up even if i'm only gone for a few minutes. Would rather leave it down. I've also put it valet mode with the top down but also have to remove the radar detector and put in the cubby or glove compartment. PITA.
