Consumer Description

MY FIBERGLASS ROOF (FIXED) ON MY 2006 Z06 FLEW OFF ON THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 60 MPH IN THE #4 (FAST) LANE. I HAD JUST TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TO GET IF LOOKED AT AND THEY ORDERED ME A NEW ONE. WHILE WAITING, I HAD STRONG TAPE ACROSS THE FRONT SO NO AIR WOULD GET IN. AS I WAS DRIVING TODAY, I HEARD SOME WIND NOISE AND AS I SLOWED DOWN,IT COME OFF. I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND I SAW THE TOP ABOUT 20 FEET IN THE AIR AND 50 YARDS BEHIND ME!!! I BEFORE THIS INCIDENT, I HAD TO GO TO 2 DEALERS AND GM THEMSELVES BEFORE I GOT HELP. IT IS A MIRACLE NO ONE WAS KILLED OR INJURED, LET ALONE NO ACCIDENTS OCCURRED. THIS HAPPENED IN WOODLAND HILL, CA WHILE TRAVELING N ON THE 101 FREEWAY. ON THE WAY HOME, I SAW WHAT REMAINS OF THE TOP IN THE S 101 FAST LANE!!! IT WENT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS TOP HAD ALREADY BEEN IN FOR REPAIRS BY THE PREVIOUS OWN UNDER A RECALL. THEY DID THE "FOAM" FIX WHICH CAN BE SEEN HERE. HTTP://PHOTOBUCKET.COM/NVL_AV8R. *TR
