Corvette Roof Recall, Take 2
Build calibre has long been a problem for the Chevrolet Corvette, and today's recall certainly won't elevation public perception of the car's fit and finish. GM has recalled 22,090 2005-2007 Corvettes to repair a faulty roof adhesive.
You'll know for sure that you have the problem if the roof flies off. Or before that point, you may notice "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," according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recall text.
The adhesive currently used to attach the roofs was itself borne out of a 2006 recall that involved 30,000 Corvettes. That early recall was prompted by 11 reports of roof separation. However, the NHTSA has received claims from 100 owners who say the newer adhesive isn't doing the job, either.
