Mike,
I installed the E-Clips, added shrink-warap to the posts and lubed it all. That lasted for over two years and just had to do it again.
My service writer at the Chevy dealer called me back saying there is no recall on the latches for my 2008 or he could not find one.
If someone has information a the recall to replace the latches, please post it.

Bulletin #08-08-67-013E Snap, pop, creak or rattle noise from lift up roof panel while driving issued on Oct. 27, 2010. 2005- 2011 corvettes.
BTW: Make sure that the nuts holding the pins and latches are tight, one of my pins loosened up a bit and started to creek. I tightened them all again and all was quiet. Good luck!

After reading many posts on this topic. I bought the product SUPER LUBE. Found it on eBay and two tubes was pretty inexpensive and it was delivered in a few days. Wiped all the rubber seals clean then applied the lube to seals, latches and the seating pins. Problem solved

I wrapped the roof pins with silicone tape, and it fixed mine.

GM has a long bulletin about how to fix the creaking roof, use the Search feature to find and print it out.
Go through it, step by step. Hopefully, most of them will not apply to you and you can skip them after checking. Then if you have the old style front latches, you can do the E-clip fix by mrtoner and save a bunch of money.
Otherwise, don't waste your time on scattershot fixes.
Get the bulletin, do the bulletin.
Our car had six problems that all had to be fixed, now the roof is quiet. The dealer worked through it and finally found/fixed them all.
