“The acrylic top on my 1996 Corvette was replaced with a new acrylic top from Chevrolet. The acrylic portion of the top has separated from the aluminum mounting frame. I have presented gone through 4 consecutive tops. Every top supplied to me has done the same thing. I can no longer drive my vehicle due to this fact. If I continue to drive my vehicle, there is a high probability that my roof is going to come off of the vehicle and possibly cause a accident on injure someone.”
