Got mine re-done today.
I got my roof re-done this morning at my dealer here in Houston. They replaced the foam insert and will be getting me a new head liner since some of the adhesive got on to it. My roof was making all the crinkle and cracking noises other members have mentioned so I didn't waste anytime.
Since my C6 is either in the garage at home or the garage at work it doesn't see much sun. This may explain why it didn't delaminate yet. I will be keeping an eye on mine and keep ya'll updated.

Still no budging with Brad at Lou Bachrodt Chevy in Coconut Creek. Seems that Brad (Service Manager) is god in his own world. GM thru Chevy Assistance can do nothing, they cannot seem to even understand how to roof is seperating.
Cannot wait for Lemon Law book, and cannot wait for the next survey. I just bought wife a new SRX , cannot believe I got another GM product. Funny, they (Cadillac) offer a rental car for even a oil change.

Its costing GM $50 plus a day for my rental while I wait for a roof. Mine is not supposed to be in until middle of July. Multiply that times all the cases, and it is significant money.

Now that I have mine safely obtained, I can say out loud -- why would Chevy NOT just give up any clear ones that are in the system for the painted one you have coming apart, either permanaently or at least temporarily?
They claim the tops need adjusting, but that has to be minor relative to the total hassle involved with keeping car for weeks...
I love my car, and they got most of it right - dang near perfect, and I know the 'end game' on this issue will be okay, too, but for now it really stinks.

Also feel same way about appearance, but this may be one of those things that grows on me. I definitely like the additional light and the view from inside!
I had set aside this AM to do the adjustment, so now here I am on "teh intarnet" instead...

The dealer has ordered a new solid top (no pun intended) for me. They said it should be about 2 weeks until it is ready, but who knows how accurate this time frame is and I don't know how many times this will have to occur until I have a stable top. Because of these concerns and the fact I would rather drive the C6 than a rental I have become a member of the transparent top brigade. I was able to pick up a used transparent top from a forum member (thanks ucla81)

I haven't had any problem with mine yet, I am affraid to take itin after reading all this on them, No doubt there will be a problem for sure if I do.
