THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK, WE DESIGNED IT THIS WAY. My friend Neil (DRIVING) is the one who came up with this idea (C6 style targa on our cars) because he wanted more headroom (he's like 6'2" and his head almost hit the t-tops, let alone with a helmet).

SO, using the C6 style (the bubble up) we were able to get more room. That is why there is a gap between the bracket and the roof there, our roof INTENTIONALLY bubbles away from that factory line to make more head room and then comes back down to the factory line in the center.

There is still plenty of surface that the t-top bracket adheres to AND you get more head room...


does your fiberglass targa mount with a gap here,like this also?
