what are the chances of that happening?
Yes, I have spread a sheet across the open targa area if I leave the top off for a while.

My first Corvette was a 92 C4 coupe. I parked it in my garage at home and it was my daily driver. One summer I was on an assignment to our Corporate office, which had covered parking, and went three weeks without the targa top in it and never covered it.

Is that less trouble than putting the top back on? If it was a real convertible you're always best to put the top up. On a targa or HTC it's just a matter of keeping the dirt out.

I wish GM offered a fixed hard top for the C8 similar to the C5 I had!

Same. Had a C6GS i took the targa off twice in the 2 years i had it.
Have my C7Z for 8 years and going, NEVER took the targa off.
Have my C8Z now 8 months never took the targa off. I wanted to see the amazing engine that's why bought the coupe for the C8Z. So double bonus going with a coupe.
Never been a top off type of guy. It's a weird experience lol. If it's hot, turn the AC on.
