Incidentally those pipes were only polished once about 13K miles ago, and remain the same as in the pic with only a damp microfiber towel wipe-down once a week.

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!
my alarm goes off when I pump gas (and leave my wife inside)

I'm on my 3rd Vert, and would really appreciate a section for vert only, since we have a different way of looking at things.

Upload it/them and it will "clock" % while it is loading them.... then select "insert"..... you can, of course re-order multiple pictures or preview your post or just submit the reply.

Hope that helps....LK



Thanks for the help!

My own experience has been frustrating trying to find info that applies to verts only and having to sift thru hundreds of posts trying to find a owner with a soft top car to chat with. Let's see if we can generate enough posts on here to make it permanent.
I've owned about twenty Vettes and only one was a coupe. When I was looking for my current '14 Z51 3LT M7 MRC roadster, I was flexible on the color but the manual roadster was the only car I considered.
Help me make this work!

I think a convertible only section is a great idea. I'm certainly for it! Thanks for starting this up!

Default First Ever Convertible - Love It!!!

Over the years I 've had so many different cars with hardtops, t-tops, moon roofs and such , but never a convertible. So when I retired I purchased my first ever convertible and it is a 2016 C7. Totally love it.
