Flying Tops - Call them!
People want to drive around in Convertibles! But they never want to see their tops fly around while driving :)!
Well, if you haven't heard, it's the talk about Corvette and it's roof flying off!? (Picture from Bloomberg.com)I guess, General Motors don't need this recall at this point of time especially when everything has been going down all around them and the latest set of the hot car in the market being pulled off - 31,000 2005 & 2006 models are the targets! And the reason behind this is 21 cars let their roofs fly off :)
"With those models, the frame of the roof is magnesium, and there's a composite plastic that gets painted that's attached to (the roof frame) with glue," Adler said. "The glue's not holding."-- Courier Journal Quoting GM spokesman Alan Adler!This is something of notice. Because, with the same glue cause, it seems they have already made a recall earlier this year giving the effects as leaks, wind noise & others. What the heck! If the problems of the glue are already known, won't they do some more research & take some precautionary measures!!??
Chinese & other Asian markets are looking forward to American Cars for quality & reliability, as they always have been. Things are getting a bit rusty here and I guess, American Cars are not the same anymore!
