2014 Corvette Stingray Removable Roof Panel "DROPPED" and Damaged

[allenk4]

Is the center section of the roof solid with a liner or see-thru ??? This will explain if the roof is the painted targa or the lexan targa (often suggested as the glass top).

Black at the perimeter and clear in the center

Wonder if a person could override the "painted body color" (Torch Red in this instance)...and, instead, have it painted Black? Nah!!

This vehicle was bought right off the showroom floor

It was not pre-ordered by the Customer


The damaged section is not painted


I hope this ends up being a fun/stressful adventure with a happy Customer at the end

I will know a lot more when I make a few passes with the P800

I've known that...and said so...from the first day pictures of it was posted.

Sorry, Bob

You mentioned painted in your previous post

I was just confirming

[builthatch]

since it seems to be isolated away from the gutter valley...you could probably sand the roughed up area smooth and get it wrapped on each side of the panel with the edge of the film either in the gutter or on an edge of that valley. that would be cheap and fast...and look great if it's done right. you could do that gloss dark carbon that Vvivid has out...or gloss black, whatever. you'd probably have to do both sides even if you did gloss black, just to make it match without question.

bet you could .... its called AFTERMARKET !


Sorry I didn't keep up on the roof options ..... roof appear painted in pics and my next Vette will be in convertible form.

Allen, keep us apprised of the outcome and options you considered before the final outcome as possible.

Insurance Adjuster is supposed to look at it on Monday

Can't do anything until then


Mostly concerned with:

Whether the section is black all the way to the bottom of the scratches; it appears to be

Polishing out the clear section without leaving a haze, as I have read can be common


Contemplating just cleaning the rest of the panel and IPA wipe down prior to EXO v2 or CQuartz UK
