I'm considering ordering a C6 coupe and would like to know what the
difference in weight is between the transparent roof and the standard
one.
I think that i've heard that the transparent one weighs about 12 or 15
lbs.  if the standard roof weighs considerably more, then  the
transparent  would be easier on my back and have less chance of
scratching anything when removing.
Thanks.

Absolutely go with the transparent (plastic), very light and much lighter than
even the C5 transparent roof, both have a 3 latch hold down. There are still a
few of the painted C6 skins that want to come loose while traveling at speed.
Although I can't tell you the weight of the painted roof the transparent roof is
an easy task to put in the back hatch. Kind of neat at night or in the rain
although I can't look up as much as I would like my granddaughter said it looked
like we were driving under water during a heavy rain storm.

Thanks for the replys. I got the transparent top. Especially when I
heard that there was about a $1k penalty when trading in without it.
