Quality Control?
Just purchased 05 corvette. I have open rear up maybe 12 times
weather stripping is torn up around hinge.
rear hatch does not fit worth a crap! Top blew off at 35mph!(roof panel
seperated from frame assembly)
Cheap *** door sill treads are peeling off.
Where is the quality I expected? only 1200 miles!

It's the forums way of validating complaints so we know if we are dealing with real problems and who may be affected by them. Legitimate posters don't get offended, trolls go away.

Is it safe to post your vin no. with so many scams going on?
Your vin no. could end up in many places!
I dont see that many posted.
The dealer where I bought my '05 was sent about 30 tops for all of The new '05's he had on his lot. When I took ours in there where 4 other '05's of customers waiting on tops. The dealer was Vandergriffs in Arlington,TX.They might be able to tell you what vin numbers are affected. Their toll free no. is 866-944-0700
last six digits are 129699
