“Our Corvette convertible had a rattle in the back we id as the back window from the convertible top had become separated from the adhesive and fell out into the back of the car. This seems to be a problem that is being handled through the recall.”
NHTSA complaint #10297358, filed 2009-12, 30,000 miles“I have a 2000 Chevrolet Corvette and a 2004 Chevrolet commemorative edition Corvette. Both of my vettes have had a roof leak and both cars have the fixed roof. Neither vehicles have ever been wrecked. It has caused mildew on the headliner as well as numerous problems with wiring in the car due to the leak. Because my 2000 Corvette had no warranty we fixed the problem ourselves, but my 2004 Corvette still is having a problem. I took it to the dealership because it is under warranty but the warranty would not cover the roof leak. …”
NHTSA complaint #10297494, filed 2009-12“The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Corvette. The removable top on the vehicle was loose. While driving over a bump at any speed, the top sounds as if it will detach from the vehicle. The dealer stated that there was no safety recall on the removable top. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure mileage was 8,100.”
