Annoying hum
Anyone else experience this in a convertible C6...see it happens on windy days going about 60 mph or higher. I get a humming noise which seems to come from the window or dash area. I can't find the source and was wondering if any of you Vette fans have heard same.

I have it on my coupe from time to time. I'm guessing yours is coming from the plastic piece at the base of the windshield. Common problem. Some has replaced the piece with luck, others still get the noise/vibration. Check and see if all the clips are there and attached. Some have used epoxy with some luck.

A cheap fix is to use a silicone caulk between the cowl and windshield.

Yup. Very common problem. I stuck a piece of double-sided sticky tape between the windshield trim and the glass, about one foot in from the passenger side of the window. Problem solved for going on a year now.

The deal is to make sure you have all the clips and they are attached to the windshield. I forget how many, I want to say 5. I added a little sealant to the clips to help attach to the windshield better.
Sounds like bees in a can, right.
