Transparent Top Optical Damage
Hello,
Is your 2003 or newer C5 "clear" top micro-cracking/delaminating ?
What is the year of your car and where is the car located?
We are not interested in scratches, but only in the deteriorating optical quality of your top. Typically, they are called:
Micro-cracking
Micro-grazing
Spider webbing
Delaminating
Flaking
I think you get my point about the type of defect I am polling about.
I ask this because we are doing research on the top and may be interested in buying a few of your old top for the cost of an OEM replacement top.
Thanks

No longer have the transparent top, but I had it for 8 years (98-06) on my C5. I had dual tops and mostly used the painted top as the transparent top was simply too hot most of the time in this climate. Anyways, after 8 years of limited use, it was in perfect condition.
