[QUOTE=greypoupon69][QUOTE=Adams' Apple]I also forgot to mention about the tops flying off at high speeds...I've had a couple of friends that lost the targa tops while driving down the road. There is a bulletin on that, too. [/QUOTE]
The tops were flyin' off the C6's, not the C5's. Chevy fixed the problem though. Wink[/QUOTE]

Really? I didn't think the C6 was around in '98...

I'm not a "Silly Gurl", I'm a "Smart Girl" and the tops DID too fly off the early C6's.  I read a little "blerb" in the Black Book on the C5 '98's improvements.  They added "clips to better hold window glass to seals during high-speed operation." Big%20smile
