Perfect for Summer
Not to be a commercial but I was just thinking of something like this and a search found it:

Cool item-just know you can't drive with this on-it says it's for stationary purposes only.

We bought one of those for our C6, and it also fits our C7.
Good: Folds flat and takes up very little room in the trunk. Less physical effort to install/remove than factory targa, especially if you have shoulder/back/arm issues.
Bad: Looks kinda goofy, we call it the "Corvette Toupe' ". Not for use while driving. Less physical effort but not any quicker than factory targa. Not fully rain or wind proof.
For us, not worth the money. For other folks in different situations, might be really nice.

It would be great for my situation: summer weather- no rain and not windy in SoCal summers.
scp had it back in 2016 but not now. Looks like whoever was making them doesn’t anymore : https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...oof-panel.html

Too bad it is not available. I remember them for the C5 and it would be useful on a C7.

Years ago a company sold these for C3 but could be used at any speed, not just to park. It really wouldnt be hard I would think to take a C7 roof frame and fit vert top material to it...
