Default Bucket List Car

Just turned 60, my wife and I have our 40th Anniversary coming up, we thought, what the heck....bought a 2007 YELLOW Corvette!!!!

Have always wanted to own one, my kids have bought me Corvette matchbox cars for years, because they always knew Daddy wanted one.

Seeing friends pass away at an early age or have life changing illnesses, we said we will wait no more.

We have a minor problem with it and will research the C6 area, but we hear a loud clicking noise coming from where the clips are that hold the roof on...everything is nice and tight, can't figure out the noise. Any idea's here....thanks....glad to be here!!!!

Congrats on your 2007 and welcome to the forum!

Get some dielectric grease,remove roof,and apply to roof pins, pin receiver areas on the car and the rubber around the roof area. This quieted my roof down. Good luck!
