Well for those of you that own C6 coupes and want to enjoy the open air feeling - quickly, or for those of you with a C6 Z06, here's one way to get your roof panels off.

Must be stolen. I prefer to remove my roof panel the old fashion way.

These guys knew what they were doing.... The roof delaminated and decided to make a game out it... so they got the camera out and filmed it...

The dealer later installed a new roof.

Yea I guess its easy to call someone an idiot when you don't know the whole story huh?

I find it hilarious. GM puts out a car that the top flies off of...the other Vette owners get ****ed when the pull the loose top off.

I'll bet you'd have been more ****ed if that top flew off and hit your car if you were driving behind him.

Nice sounding Ferrari's BTW.

Most of us would have removed the entire targa top and stowed it in the back...

I did not see that it was a Z06. As a Z06 owner, I am well aware that the roof does not come off. I provided no advice, just an opinion. I see no reason for the attitude, either.

Sorry, thought I was so much softer than the others, calling the guy a jerk and all. Didn't mean to be too snarky - but the front scoop was clearly visible and I guessed that it was noticeable -
