2005 Painted Top Recall
For those C5 owners that may have a C6 too....
Just received a written recall ntoice for painted tops on 2005 C6. Chevy says the top may separate from the inner skin and fly off.
Went to the dealer today, they didn't know anything about it (go figure). The fix was to disassemble the latch mechcanism and insert some type of foam adhesive that would bond both top and skin. It took all day becuase the dealer ran out of adhesive. It took two tubes, but it's done. Those of you with painted tops, check with your dealer if you plan on driving faster than 40 mph.

Yes, but if you do GM will void your warranty for not using the car as specified in the manual
