The sail panels are held to the body with velcro... That's factory, I dont know about any of the other ones? After taking apart 8 of these cars and owning 3 ive never seen it.

I saw some velcro on the a-pilar and on the sail panel. But it was not the only thing holding the pannels on.

Nah, just proves why LT1s are superior to LS1s.
I do admit that I baby my car for the most part. If I could just do something about that go pedal forcing itself to the floorboard so often....

The sail is that piece that runs from the sides of the car, over the roof... usually black on camaros and body-coloured on T/As. The sail panels on the interior are the side panels that run up from the back seats to the roof.
