I am going to try my luck again here. I have a few questions for you all, so here goes.
1. Has anyone found a "tonneau bar" without the third brake light? RKSport sells one, but it has a brake light on it. Why they put it on there is beyond me, I already have a third brake light.
2. Has anyone removed their back seats? I have thought about making my TA a true 2 seater, and installing some sort of carpeted wood box to make it like the inside of a Corvette Z06.
3. This is an odd question, but to any TA vert owners, in your interior, specifically the center console, opposite of the power top button, the other side, is there any sort of panel there? Mine is lacking, and I cannot get a straight answer to whether I am missing a panel or something, since the bottom of the cigarette lighter is exposed from the passenger side.
4. This is a really odd question, but, on the windshield, it seems like there is nothing to block the rain coming off the wipers, so if it is raining, you absolutely cannot crack the window, because water will pour in. Is everyone's car like this? On a previous car, there were "sills" that ran vertically with the windsheild to block the water coming off the windsheild.
Thanks in advance.

I don't own a 'vert but I can offer some info on #4. I had a '98 V6 that had flush windshield molding. My SS, however; has a slight channel in the molding on either side of the windshield. It's not enough to channel all the water to the roof, but gets most of it.

New cars usually dont have "rain gutters" anymore because it really hurts aerodynamics. At least the coupes and T-top cars get somewhat of a lip directly above the side glass. The convertible gets nothing (its not possible to put anything there!). But then converts have always been that way! Posts: 1443 | From: Lake Oswego, Oregon | Registered: Dec 2001

Sideshow's car has the rear seat removal mod. It makes for more gear & equipment room for traveling. Our next road trip w/the SS will most likely be sans rear seat.

Do you have any pictures or a link to a site where I can see this mod? Thanks

for your point 1 - haven't seen any - you may want to consider a 2 or 4 point roll bar instead?
point 4 - yes - you get wet in the rain if you crack the window
Thanks for the reply, do you have any pics or a site where I could view pics? E-mail is also fine LovTrance72@cs.com Posts: 34 | From: Lansing, Michigan | Registered: Jan 2003

Actually I only had the seatback folded down. Curtis had the rear seat in his SS coupe out for the BG trip. Posts: 428 | From: Winnipeg, MB, Canada | Registered: Oct 2001

'Doh! My brain is slipping. I was initially thinking it was you, but now that you mention it.....yes, it WAS Curtis that had his back seat out.
