I OWN A 2006 CORVETTE C6 AS DESCRIBED IN CHEVROLET'S RECALL NOTICE ON "DEFECTIVE REMOVABLE TOPS. I AM EXPERIENCING THE DESCRIBED PROBLEMS WITH THE REMOVABLE TOP AND MY VIN NUMBER IS IN THE RANGE CHEVROLET HAS DEFINED. I HAVE CALLED CHEVROLET AND THEY STATED I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE DEALER TO DETERMINE IF I HAD THE SPECIFIED RECALL DEFECT. IF THEY DETERMINED IT WAS NOT WITHIN THE RECALL CRITERIA I WOULD BE BILLED BY THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE CONSUMER SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO DETERMINE IF AN IDENTIFIED PROBLEM, IN THE VIN NUMBER RANGE SPECIFIED IS DANGEROUS OR NOT. IT IS NOT DANGEROUS TO ME BUT COULD DEFINITELY AFFECT ANY VEHICLES BEHIND ME IF THE ROOF FAILS. THIS IS A RECOGNIZED PROBLEM BUT CHEVY SEEMS TO SAY "LET IT FAIL, THEN WE WILL HANDLE IT". MY TOP CREAKS, STARTED ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO...

MY ISSUE IS AN APPARENT DESIGN FLAW WITH THE POWER CONVERTIBLE TOP ON MY 2006 CORVETTE. DURING THE NORMAL OPERATION OF THE TOP, THE CORNER OF THE PLASTIC SIDE RAILS ON EACH SIDE OF THE EACH (DRIVER'S & PASSENGER'S SIDE) CONTACTS THE INNER LINER OF THE CONVERTIBLE. THIS HAS CAUSED A HOLE IN MY LINER WHICH, MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPAIR UNDER THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. THEY STATED THAT THE REASON THEY WON'T FIX IT IS BECAUSE GM HASN'T ISSUED A TSB (TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN) FOR THIS ISSUE. I KNOW OF SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ASSISTING ME. *TR
