Default ANOTHER roof ?

I picked my car up 6/21 at the NCM (built 6/5). GM claims my VIN is outside of the problem cars, but what did they change so it won't fail? The SMC are just coming out now so don't I have the same glue that has been failing? I haven't had a problem yet, but it does make me really nervous........

From what I read, they are now using the same bonding process as that they used on the C5 roof tops.

The SMC switch was just a cost shaving measure, and not an improvement to the bond.

I havent heard of any C5's that have had roofs peel, so cost saving or not, it has a proven track record of working.

My last roof was off a June 06 C6 (Dealer swapped it to make me happy). As of August, it is delaminating.
