omg that sucks for that guy.....
Given my own C5 ownership experience, I am hardly surprised. That's just one of those incidents that you'll likely only find on the vette forums.
Now with NSX content . . .

man, those corvette guys are mighty forgiving! I would demand a new vehicle on the spot - or a refund
they laugh "oh i'll get it fixed", "it's just cosmetic covering"
HIS ROOF FELL OFF.
not a targa-detachable roof, but the fixed hardtop... came off... at legal speed.
what a hunk of crap.

And one of the funniest quotes........I have never seen such a high level of hysteria here over such a relatively rare and minor issue :tongue:
And post # 64 from a senior member of Corvette Forums .....
"Sell it and get a Viper SRT-10 or Acura NSX if you want quality as well as speed."

I'm in awe of the owner because he/she is being very cool about this. I understand that problems occur with even the best of cars but I'd be absolutely livid if the roof blew off my car. No matter if it's part of the "structure" of the car or not. That's simply unforgivable.
And God help the poor bastard behind him on the freeway when that thing peeled off. That's the kind of $hit that made me sell my motorcycles.

GM will probably have better luck with Super Glue.

My father-in-law was a GM loyal who bought a few Cads, Buick and Olds in his life. All I saw were contant break downs from absolutely no apparent reasons. I remember driving his then brand new Omega to LA and that POS overheated and had a electrical short that burned out the taillight fuses. Next thing was the alternator's belt that broke and we got stranded in Lake Tahoe under heavy snow. Finally, after 20 years of trying, I convinced him to buy a Honda Odyssey but he did not stay healthy long enough to enjoy it. GM cars are simply junks.DutchBlackNsx said:

The occupants of the vehicle may notice one or more of these symptoms: a snapping noise when driving over bumps, wind noise, poor roof panel fit, roof panel movement/bounce when a door or hatch is closed, or a water leak in the headliner.
Correction
Dealers are to apply adhesive foam to ensure proper adhesion, or in a small number of vehicles, replace the roof panel.
