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!

This is my 2014. Limerock green, 3LT, A6, Kalahari interior, OE carbon fiber dash, performance exhaust, Z51. Just put the Soler performance modified Throttle Body.
I also hope we can get a dedicated convertible group.

After just purchasing it a year ago April

Replaced Factory black wheels with these.

Does anyone know how to get rid of this strange line on my convertible top?
I tried RAGGTOPP and it didn't help at all...pretty worthless stuff.

That crease near the windshield looks odd too.Did something land on your top and you kept driving?

I tried Woolite- which usually does the trick, but it didn't work in this case.

Not sure what was the source of the line. Possibly hydraulic fluid leaked from the inside the top?

Nope. That crease has been there a long time....at least 3 years.
It's probably from leaving the top down while the car is parked in the garage for 2-3 days.

The C7 is the last true Corvette convertible. IMHO the C8 convertible is more like a targa than a convertible.

Thanks. Be sure to keep that LRG vert. Wish I would have. It's a awesome machine.
