Then I'm not sure those little plastic clips will hold that top for long........ LaDonna actually got her finger caught between the top and the carpet after trying to get the top out, so they should have left some space to get your hand in there to actually pull the top out. The interior really didn't impress me. If that is all they can do and call it big improvements over the C5, then they wasted their money. The engine bay looked much less clean than the C5. The C5 has the plastic covering a lot of the hoses and wires, and the C6 didn't have any of that. Yes it saves weight and all, but it looked like a 1980's car under the hood.......
Oh well, just my thoughts on it.......
