The latch, the 2 handles, and the pair of side weatherstrips are the priciest of the components... that rear latch is nearly $300 retail and it's one of the two carryover parts from the C6! Attached is the parts/components scans for reference. In the first scan, you will need to order all components except #3 and 10 since it comes already installed on the transparent top. In the second scan, you will need to order #3, 4, 21, and 22 only.

It all adds up to at least another $650+ unless you decide to transfer all the components from your existing roof panel (which will make one unusable).


Wow thanks for the details! im debating if i should get that or just order one whole new set, I honestly dont have a problem swapping out parts but i didnt know it was that many!
