Default Vert Rear Window Problems??

The C5 vert rear windows have been known to come loose and fall out. Has anyone experienced this problem with a C6? Thanks.

btw, I'm not wishing bad luck on anyone, just curious if this problem is behind us.

I owned 2 05 convertibles for 4 years and never had a problem with either one of them.

Well, wouldn't it be behind you -- even if it weren't behind you?
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Not a problem with mine. Truth is, never heard of a problem with the C6 Vert rear window.

I've been on this board since 2004 and have never heard of that happening. Roofs have flown off the coupes, but the vert windows do seem to like staying attached to their cars.

From what I can see the C6 design is more like the C4 with glass window and has extra reinforcement. My C5 popped out. They were heat glued in. I've not heard any issues with the C4 (94-96) or the C6.
