Corvette roof panels blow off

A number of Corvette owners are experiencing bizarre roof panel separations while driving. On certain 2005-2006 models, the painted roof panel will separate from its frame "if it is exposed to stresses along with high temperature and humidity," GM said. The occupants of the vehicle may notice one or more of these symptoms: a snapping noise when driving over bumps, wind noise, poor roof panel fit, roof panel movement/bounce when a door or hatch is closed, or a water leak in the headliner. "Dealers are to apply adhesive foam to ensure proper adhesion, or in a small number of vehicles, replace the roof panel," the company said. The Leftlane Perspective: Tip: be sure to glue the roof of your flagship car on properly the first time at the factory. (More at the CorvetteForum).
