I am possibly going to buy a 01 Z28 Vert but have a question.
Is it normal to have a bubble in the top when at freeway speeds?
I had a 90 IROC Vert that had this problem badly.
This 01 is not that bad but still noticable.

Also the top of the back window is coming detached from the cloth.
What is the best fix, the top itself is in very good condition.

Thanks

there is a windshield adhesive you can use. its usually a black urethane compound that you have to be careful that you don't get on the fabric (will never come off). i had another convertible (2001 camaro) that had the same section separate and just gluing it with the black urethane windshield adhesive did the trick.
however... if the window is actually loose or the fabric that holds the window has torn, you might have to replace the top.

i've asked other people, but even after 10 years, they say my top is not bubbling. there is glue that holds the top fabric down across rails. that glue and the tautness of the fabric is supposed to keep the top in shape. if the bond of the glue fails, the low pressure air around the top of the car sucks the top up and you get the bubble.

Great explaination! Thanks alot for your help.

Great looking White Vert!

I will probably pick your brain if I pick this Z28 up.
You have modded yours nicely!

thanks!
you'll find there's tons of people on here willing to help. the convertible section also has a crapton of information about keeping our tops in shape.
