OMG ... top noises gone
The new GM top latches arrived and I had the dealer install them on both my solid and tranparent tops this morning. My popping noises are all gone, the car's quiet as a mouse. It's only one day so far, but it appears that the engineersing fix works.

That is great news, I am fortunate I have an 2008 and so far no noise at all.

I complained about the noise to the dealer. I have had my 2007 for 18 months now. They said that there had recently been a service bulletin issued by GM. The dealer ordered and installed the new latches under warranty.

I've done almost all the forum fixes on my 07 except this one.. I noticed yesterday that the rear section of the top appears to be delaminating.. probably explains the popping and creaking..

Chris Aude was the principle on the top problem. There were a number of folks involved in the solution including a couple from the assembly plant. Lots of people, lots of effort. They wanted this issue put to bed.

glad to hear that the fix seems to work. about two weeks ago the popping and cracking started after more than two years of owned the 06 C6. i have the latches ordered at the local dealer and will have them installed as soon as they arrive. interesting that i only hear the driver side latch making noise...

My local dealer told me last week that there is not a bulletin on this.
My 09 was popping on one side, so I protected the top and sprayed some white silicon grease on the rollers and surprise! NO NOISE.
