Corvette Recall
I know this isn't C5 related. But did you see that 30,000 C6's have been recalled for the roof flying off?
And you don't even have to not re-attach it properly - they just take off on their own.

In Before The Lock!!! This was discussed at our Vette club mini cruze yesterday. It's the glue that bonds the plastic exterior to the magnesium frame that lets go. The frame stays in the car just fine, the skin comes off. One would think that with all the C5 roofs demonstrating a strong bond, even surviving unintentional flight and crash, that they would have had sense enough to use the same glue or bonding foam they used on our C5s..
Just one more reason that the C5 is my choice....Better looks and better roof!

IB4TL. there is no excuse for this sort of recall. american car builders wonder why the asian brands kill them every year in consumer & industry surveys. this is precisely why our dd is one of those asian brands. bub
When are the US car makers ever going to wake up???????
