    Default Corvette recall

    GM is recalling 22,000 vets because of faulty adhesive on removable roofs. 2005-2007 vets w/ removable roof and 2006-2007 Z06's. The defect could result in the roof flying off at speed. Of course I would imagine that risk goes up the faster you go!

    This is their second recall regarding the same issue. I was surprised to see the first one and now this.

    This should be labelled as a FEATURE. Automatic roof for highway cruising

    First recall, the other one was an internal Chevy TSB to replace to roof latches and for delamination of the roof panels.

    This is for 2005-2007 Coupes, and it said 2006 and 2007 ZO6's with removable roof panels, but the ZO6 does not have removable roof panels.

    Haha. I had an 05 C6, and yes, my roof panel came flying off one day. Kinda scary. (I was only going about 30-40 mph when it happened though).
