2006 CORVETTE COUPE TOP DEFECT REPORT. THE BONDING OF THE SHELL SKIN TO THE FRAME OF MY CORVETTES PORTABLE PAINTED TOP CAME LOOSE AND NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ABLE TO GRAB THE SHELL AND BRING THE CAR TO A CONTROLLED STOP. THE DEALER TOLD ME MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST, BUT THEY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE A CLEAR TENTED TOP THAT MAY HAVE THE SAME DEFECT, BUT THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED TO MY REQUEST TO DETERMINE IF THE DEFECT EXISTS IN THE CLEAR TENTED TOP. I DO NOT WANT TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR A DEATH ON THE HIGHWAY, SO I WILL DRIVE THE CAR ONLY ON LOW SPEED ROADS UNTIL THE CHEVY DEALER GETS ME AN ANSWER ON THE CONDITION OF THIS CLEAR TOP. GM SHOULD GO ON REPORT SINCE GM FAILED TO REALIZE THE TOP ASSEMBLY BONDING DEFECT EXTENDS INTO THEIR LATER BUILT CARS. DATE OF PURCHASE 2/2006. *NM

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH I HEARD A POPPING SOUND AND THEN WIND NOISE. I THEN SAW LIGHT COMING THROUGH BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND TOP. THE TOP HAD DELAMINATED FROM THE DRIVER SIDE ACROSS THE FRONT AND ABOUT 3/4TH OF THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE BOTH TOPS FOR THIS CAR ( THE PAINTED TOP AND THE CLEAR TOP )IT WAS THE PAINTED TOP THAT DELAMINATED. I REMOVED THE PAINTED TOP AND PUT ON THE CLEAR TOP. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE ORDERED A NEW TOP FOR THE CAR. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND DRIVING AT THE 65 MPH SPEED LIMIT THE TOP WOULD PROBABLY HAVE BLOWN OFF THE CAR AND POSSIBLY HIT ANOTHER CAR OR CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL AND IS TRYING TO GET THE LATEST,IMPROVED TOP FOR ME. *NM
