Installing The Roof Panel - Chevrolet 2004 Corvette Owner's Manual

Installing the Roof Panel

CAUTION:
{
An improperly attached roof panel may fall into
or fly off the vehicle. You or others could be
injured. After installing the roof panel, always
check that it is firmly attached by pushing up on
the underside of the panel. Check now and then
to be sure the roof panel is firmly in place.
Notice: If you drop or rest a roof panel on its
edges, the roof panel, paint and/or weatherstripping
may be damaged. Always place the roof panel in
the stowage receivers after removing it from
the vehicle.
In most cases, it is easier to install the removable roof
with two people rather than one.
1. Check to be sure that the front handles and rear
latch on the ceiling are in their opened positions
before attempting to install the roof panel.
2. If the roof panel is stored in the rear area, grasp it
with your right hand at the middle edge near the
seatbacks, and with your left hand at the middle of
the edge closest to you. Reverse the steps
described previously under Storing the Roof Panel
on page 2-47.
3. Remove the roof panel from the storage
compartment.
4. Place the roof panel over the vehicle.
