Install with confidence

• Prepare your workspace and support the body to relieve load during installation.
• Inspect existing mounting points for corrosion or wear and address any damage before replacing plates.
• Align components using original reference points to achieve true geometry—check gaps along doors, fenders, and the -Top tracks.
• When reassembling, ensure weather seals seat properly and that there is no binding in the -Top operation after mounting.

Care and lon-term reliability

After installation, perform periodic inspections to verify fastener tightness and confirm that the mounting geometry remains true as the car is driven and stored. Regular checks help maintain the integrity of the roof area, preserve weather sealing, and keep your C3 Corvette looking and performing like it did when it rolled off the showroom floor.
