2006 Top

[Houston U.]

I have a 2006 coupe that was recalled for top de-laminating. Dealer repaired, but noise has returned. Has anyone gone through this? Is a new top the answer? Thanks

If you are not happy take it back to the dealer until you are... this is the beautiful thing about a new corvette with a warranty.

Re: 2006 Top

These failures resulted from incorrect adhesive or manufacturing methods by the supplier.

First instances of this failure were addressed with dealer repair using an adhesive foam introduced under the top skin. These early attempted repairs were unsuccessful in most cases, and in some cases, were repeated multiple times. For a period, GM went to top replacement, first with transparent tops, and later with improved 2006 production that used different materials.

I believe that the replacement of tops has now been discontinued, and proven repair methods have now been adopted. I would see my dealer, but make sure he is getting the latest information from his regional contact.

Don, jacob
The roof issue is now a recall on certain 05-07 Corvettes. If the adhesive fix was not effective the next step is a new roof panel. Yor dealer can tell you if you car is within the VIN range.

Someone on the C6 Registry just had his done. They replaced the top with a new one. The "fixes" were/are not working.

Re: Auto Recalls

They replaced the top on my '06, perfect match on the paint.That was my biggest fear.

Re: Auto Recalls

Replaced the top on my 05 also.I believe that is the fix now. No more having to go through the foam adhesive repair bit.

Re: 2006 Top

Thanks to everyone with the info. My car is within the recall VIN and the dealer just keeps repairing. I think a new top is in order. I too was concerned regarding paint match. Love the car...hate the noise.

Re: 2006 Top

If your top is made of white glass it needs nothing. If it is black glass & is not loose it gets foamed. If it is loose it gets replaced or repaired until a new top comes in. Some tops were replaced with the old glass (black).We have only had to replace 1 and foamed the rest as they were not loose. Most dealers dont like this recall because of the time they pay.
