Ken

Will this be for all 2005 & 2006 coupe's with painted roofs or only certain ones? Thanks.

[LS WON]

I thought there was a problem with transparent roofs of peeling

[Wass]

The transparent roofs are one solid piece, so there isn't anything to peel.

[Nifty C6]

My dealer tells me that it only involves C6's with VIN's numbered up to 65100046.

[GOLD72]

I hope that is true. I just got my Z06 built on Jan 24th last Monday at NCM.
