Yeah lol, good thing it's not supposed to rain tonight cause the car is parked outside. Was thinking of going back to look for the part but it's probably been ran over by someone anyways now.

That may cause a slight rigidity issue.

sprite2005 · 04-20-2006, 12:17 AM

Any recommendations when taking it to the dealer tomorrow? Can they just slap a new roof on?

I knew they'd make a convertible!!!

Wow! Is that the headliner? Looks like it would be easy to do a glass see-through top.

now you know why they cost half the price of a porsche

Yes it is.... I still can't believed this happened. Had just shifted out of first @ around 6900-7000k, hit 2nd and hear a loud crack, pull over and my roof is missing.....

tell the dealer that the ejection seat malfuntioned.....mother in-law was getting on your nerves..so you hit the eject button ...but DAMN...all it did was blow its top!!!......

seriously.....holy crap!!....did someone forget to apply the adhesive?

There is still a tiny patch of roof on top of the car that has been broken right off, somebody seriously messed up. What approach should I take at the dealer tomorrow though? Not sure if they can replace the roof there or if they have to ship it back to the factory? The roof is an important part of the car's integrity isn't it? IE: The reason they can't make a convertible.

I hope they at least give me a free rental car while they fix it, but I've heard they might not give rentals to drivers under 25?

Hope GM can get on this quick and identify other cars effected by this. Good luck at the dealer tomorrow and please keep us posted

Will do, do you guys want me to go get my VIN real quick so you can see if you are close?

JamRWS6 · 04-20-2006, 01:19 AM

That part of the roof looks to simply be a cosmetic covering. The structural part of the roof is still there. Hope you get her fixed

And I thought I had luck with a defective battery!!!!!!!!!

Holy sheet!!!!!!!!! Good luck to you. I would guess the dealer will not have a clue how to fix this

Keep us posted on the "repair"

What a ****ing joke.

And people wonder why they are in trouble.
