Vette(s): 1980 L-48 still in the middle of a frame-off.
I bought one but have not put it on yet, maybe next year.   I know like that is a lot of help to you.     I do like the way it looks on the car.



Corvettes and women are the same...You want to make love to them but they keep breaking down.

Thanks indy99. I went for a ride today and got on it a bit. I heard a slight pop and an air rushing noise. The right top was alittle loose, thought it was an adjustment but was the frame coming off the glass.
 
I bought them at Carlisle in 2002, the car only went on the road last year.
 
They lasted about 400 miles, not bad!!!!! Huh???????
 
I thought if I do the one piece top, maybe next Carlisle I can get this one fixed. That way, I can drive the thing next spring.

A friend of mine has one, he loves it except when he has to put it in the back.

I got one right after I bought my car. It was cheaper than glass tops and when I'm going into a less than seecure area I put them on. I rather someone try and break it instead of my glass tops.  They are also the ones I use at the drag strip, I enjoy them but they are a pain to put in the back.
