I am preparing to purchase a C6. Any information current owners could provide regarding the advantages/disadvantages of the solid vs. the clear top would be appreciated. Since there is not sunshade, will the clear top be hot in the summer?

 

I just got mine so give me a day or two and I will let you know. I have both the solid and clear top.

 

Thanks...any info. you can provide will be appreciated...I've decided to order a 2006 and take delivery no later than next spring but it's difficult to wait. [:@]

 

i would prefer the clear top, personally.

 

The clear tops will be hot if the sun is beating down on you. You can always tint them to help some or sell them and buy the solid ones if you end up not liking them.

 

thats why i like my moonroof/sunroof in my nonner...its great on nice clear nights, but i can close the solid piece for hot days

 

Hi,

I have a C6 with the both tops option. My car is in HOT Georgia...so I was advised (by the dealer) to not leave the "glass" top on it outside (say in a parking lot) as the car would heat up severely inside. It seems to depend on whether you live in the heat or you can park your car where it is protected.

If you have the regular top you can at least remove it for the wind/sun experience.

Just my 2 cents...enjoy the perma grin on your face that comes with this car!!

i can imagine that it does get very hot...sort of a greenhouse effect..

 

THE SEE THRU TOP IS WARMER ON A HOT DAY BUT COOLS DOWN FAST WITH THE AIR ON . MY NEW C6 HAD DARK TINTED WINDOWNS SO ITS NOT A BIG DEAL ANYMORE WITH THE HEAT. JUST SO YOU KNOW YOU CANT TINT THE ROOF BECAUSE IT IS NOT GLASS ITS PLASTIC BUT THERE IS A COMPANY THAT MAKES A LINER THAT STICKS TO THE INSIDE AND CUTS DOWN GLARE CONSIDERABLY!

 

what if you had a thin layer of black paint applied to the see through top?
