I had some creaking in my top then I found a service bulletin (#17-NA-278) dated 8/29/17 addressing the issue. They had to replace some of the fastener screws with larger ones in the bows. Since the dealer replaced the screws, it has been perfect!

Hopefully this will help you too!

Thanks again.
Blazer, fortunately my bride is vertically challenged, and there is a little room behind the back seat on her side. I usually slide the compooter back there. And, on the floorboard behind both seats there is room to put umbrellas, and smaller stuff. You can get a fairly good bunch of stuff in a Vert, you just have to use your imagination for storage of things in every nook and cranny.

Sunday morning in Malibu. I got to have both of my convertibles there. A 1977 and a 2017. A friend of mine from Rochester NY drove the Black Rose 2017 GS. We had to wipe them down as we ran into some unusual rain!!!

My own experience has been frustrating trying to find info that applies to verts only and having to sift thru hundreds of posts trying to find a owner with a soft top car to chat with. Let's see if we can generate enough posts on here to make it permanent.
I've owned about twenty Vettes and only one was a coupe. When I was looking for my current '14 Z51 3LT M7 MRC roadster, I was flexible on the color but the manual roadster was the only car I considered.
Help me make this work!

I figured I’d jump in here with a picture of my favorite toy:


I like to drive with the top down anytime it’s sunny and above 50 degrees F.

It's a beauty Joe, congratulations. BTW, I think Mac Haik is the "Rick Hendricks" of Texas. Looks like he sells every brand available. I've checked his prices on F-150's, and he is hard to beat.

Default my top won't come down

so thanksgiving I drove from fla to nc for a few days. I assumed the top would not lower because of the temp--50's. the owners manual said this should be noted on the dash, if this is the issue, but it did not. I tried to recycle the top and nothing would work, several times over 3 days. it did come down once in myrtle Beach after the car sat in the sun during lunch.

There has been since at least 2005. Back then the limit was 0*F, on the C7 it is -4*F.

I've operated mine in the lower 30s.

Since there was no message on the DIC, the problem was most likely something else. Maybe the windows needed indexing? Most other likely problems will have a message associated, such as trunk not closed or the partition not attached.
