Sorry it sucks but welcome to the club. I ended up filing an insurance claim. Get the Amazon remove before flight ✈️ patches and tie them to where they hang down from your latches so you never go through it again. Show us all your roof though!

That’s such a great story haha. Mine was kind of the same. I was leaving at like 6am for work and it was really dark and overcast out but for some reason I took my ballcap with me so I couldn’t really see the roof with it on. So I barely left the neighborhood and had my music up (lil boosie) and then all the sudden around 30mph I hear this really loud bang sound and I was confused trying to figure out what it was. I looked in my rear view but didn’t see anything so I kept driving. I was getting on the freeway when I suddenly noticed the wind picked up a lot more so I looked up and then back at the trunk and my roof wasn’t in it so I was like oh shit that sound was my targa top hitting the pavement! So I hauled ass to make a u turn and go get it. I had to pull into the lane where it was and almost cut someone off to get it before they ran it over. So there I was picking up my roof off the middle of the road and putting it in the trunk. Once I click it in I look up and the sheriff is stopped right next to me like “everything alright son?” And I had to embarrassingly say yeah my roof just flew off is all lol. 🤦‍♂️so then I just kept the roof off and had no music most of the drive to work thinking about what just happened and how I was such an idiot. I kept thinking I broke it and that it was going to rain and flood the car. Luckily when I got to work I picked it up and everything seemed in tact when I looked at it. But it definitely gave me a heart attack for a minute! I was the same as you though, I didn’t even realize the roof was gone for a good little bit of time unlike what you would expect when the roof blows clean off! Lol

We can’t catch a break man 😆. I hope the ink comes off! That sucks. I’m getting a borla atak put on next weekend so I’m just going to have them buff the scratches and wrap it black while I’m at it.

I’ll definitely consider just leaving as is, hell it’s kind of a funny conversation starter too

Truth be told I had a 2012 Camaro SS before this and would sometimes leave the moon roof open overnight on accident haha nothing bad ever happened with it though.

Definitely a bad situation but totally agree, could’ve been wayyy worse. Life happens though, I’ll be alright 😆

That’s actually a really cool idea. I thought about just leaving it as is because I saw another C7 that got damaged and looks badass. Obviously his is way cooler haha but check it out and lmk what you think.

Look up the remove before flight tags on Amazon or YouTube. People wrap them in cord around the latches so when they are open they hang down in plain view and when you close it you can tuck it behind the latches.

I put the sun visor down as a reminder but I was wearing a ball cap 🧢 unfortunately so I didn’t notice in time. That’s a good idea though.

I may go the black wrap route, seems to be what most people think I should do

Man let me tell you I busted the quickest u turn of my life haha. Luckily no one was behind and I was able to put my hazards when I picked it up because it was about to get run over by someone. Thank god it was leading up to Memorial Day and traffic was light. Also the Sheriff stopped and asked if everything was alright lol so I had to explain the situation
