Installing The Roof Panel - Chevrolet 2007 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 makes it easier if two people
re-install the roof panel.
1. Park on a level surface and set the parking
brake. Shift an automatic transmission into
PARK (P). Shift a manual transmission
into NEUTRAL.
2. Check that the front release latches and
the rear release latch on the vehicle's roof
opening are in their opened positions before
attempting to install the roof panel.
3. If the roof panel is stored in the rear storage
area of the vehicle, grasp the rear edge of the
roof panel with both hands and gently lift it
up and remove it from the storage area.
4. Carefully place the roof panel over the top of
the vehicle.
5. Position the rear edge of the roof panel to the
weatherstrip on the back of the roof opening.
Then align and fit the pins at the rear of the roof
panel inside the openings in the rear overhead
weatherstrip. Gently lower the front edge of the
roof panel to the front of the roof opening.
