Thanks guys for all the hints and information. I have looked around at the options, and must say that the idea from Strikervette seems to be a good one for me. The protective case is a good option. I love my Vette and its better for me to get a good quality product that keeps my roof safe and out of the way tunil I want use it. I have bought a lot of accessories for the car as it is, including the spare roof..... enjoy your vettes boys! OH...and thanks Strikervette for the info on that case!

Sorry for the thread hijack.
Does anyone know of a very soft material that will not scratch the top when it is inside of the box?

Maybe the OP can wrap up the removable top and place it in a large box for the winter? I hope my idea works for the both of us, along with anyone else with this problem.
just buy a cheap fleece blanket, costco has them for under $20

Placed my order with Centurion in Huntsville, AL for the roof case as described by Strikervette. Problems with proper storage solved! Thanks!

Default Contact info.

Dear All,

Since I stared this post a few days ago, I must say I am very happy with the outcome. If you want the details of the company that makes the roof cases for the C6 Coupe, send me a message and I will send you the contact info. The company is selling out for Christmas, so if you are interested, I suggest you let me know soon and I will send you their info. (Case photo's where posted by Strikervette - check them out)

Daniel.
