I just watched Inside Edition on TV about the Texas man and dog that past away. The reporter showed how easy the door opens when you use the manual release. Hopefully that will prevent another tragedy. I thought it was strange they didn't discuss removing the top.

OLD NEWS - That has been discussed here in MANY threads for MANY months.

That is one reason that GM recently sent out letters to all C6 owners about the levers to open the doors near the seats.

At a little show last month I asked a fellow C-6 owner the very question** blank stare, crickets chirping** HUH?
So I went over it with him on both ingress & egress, he was appreciative
I have read my manual many times and still learn from it, especially the electronics

The OP was just informing us of the tv show about the incident. I don't think he let on that he was breaking any news to us...
