thanks again for the reply

The popping noises could be the latching system on a targa roof coupe. There is a GM TSB to fix what owners usually describe as squeeks coming from the roof. Involves changing to upgraded hardware where the roof latches lock on to the body structure. Maybe yours is so bad that it is popping. Would be worthwhile having a dealer check it out.

Default Confused

I have the Dual Top option and have for the most part used the transparent top since the solid was "fix" with adhesive under the previous recall. I doubt it has seperated sitting in the garage. Does this mean they won't replace it? When I put the solid top back on, I don't want it to be subject to separating

Failure of the adhesive is a function of time, heat and humidity so it has not likely deteriorated to a significant extent while in storage in your garage. But damage can certainly accumulate quickly if you start using the painted top. My VY top while not removable by the owner has lived in the home garage or the office garage its entire four year life and the car only exposed to sun while driving yet it started to finally separate last November. Dark colors will absorb more of the sun's radiant energy than a light color such as VY but all of the colors are subject to separate with time.

I took my car to the dealer today to have the roof inspected and see if it would be covered under the recall.
My roof will be repaired under the recall, thanks to everyone for their help.

According to NHTSA today, the recall "should" start by the end of January.

I picked up my 06 Z06 from Mac Haik yesterday, and I'm thrilled to report that they did a excellent job on the roof replacement and detailed my car...

Thanks for the report and I am glad to hear that Russell and the guys at MH were able to replace the roof to your satisfaction.
