Roof Constraints
 
Does anyone know what roof is on constraint? Is it the standard roof or the exposed carbon fiber roof? Or both?

Thanks

The carbon fiber roofs (both for visible and body-color painted roofs) are on constriant as I understand it. But I have a general queston about the roofs and constraints. If one wants a dual roof package is it possible to order and pay for the dual roof package, receive the car with only the transparent roof and have GM ship a carbon fiber roof to dealer when they become available? Anyone ever hear of that? Curious--that's what I would do if I could when ordering. --Bob

Second question: Not possible.

Both painted and exposed CF roofs were o9n constraint. Apparently a fix was found and the painted CF roof is not on constraint, per my memory.

Although Chevy had plenty of experience using a CF roof in the C6 ZR!, it did not have experience in a removable CF roof. For reasons I do not know, it appears the act of taking the roof off and putting it back on numerous times has an adverse effect on the integrity of the roof.

Are any Exposed c-f roof c-7s being produced at this time? My order is at 3300 , and includes the exposed cf roof-so can I expect to be produced?

Yes some are. At 3300 you can expect it will be produced and in a fairly timely manner. The biggest hold up is getting to 3000 but once at 3300 the process becomes much more stable and predictable.

Thanks for the reply. That's how I understand it, also. But it's tough being patient.

As both BeckyD and KellyJ can testify, I have vowed to never do a retail order again. And that is exactly why.

I have only broken that vow less than a dozen times but this time I will stick to it. Unless I decide to do a retail order again.
