Default 2021 Corvette convertible

Well it looks like I have the first convertible that is junk.
delivery day the roof got James up half way up and I spent 2 hours at the dealer while they fixed it.
3 weeks later it happens again and the car sits in my garage with it suck half way open.
How can I ever trust the car if I as am far from home. There is no manual way to operate it

This exact problem happened to someone else on the forum, just in the past two months or so. I recall the dealer found the problem and fixed the car easily with no further issues. I'm sorry, but that is all I remember from the thread...

If I recall it was a cable or something in the way? Can’t remember either.

Yeah IIRC it had something to do with a pinched cable grounding out one of the motors or something like that. A silly simple issue to fix but difficult to diagnose.
