Good question. The Vette roof deal is really stupid. The roofs DO NOT fly off the cars if the simpleton who owns the car in the first place reads the owners manual and secures it correctly like in the book. There should be a RTFM recall of all the stupid owners who can't secure the roof on a Vette until the locks click in place and then go drive 120mph with it unlocked. SHEESH. Then if you pound on the roof with it in the unlocked position and bend the lock mechanism it has to be repaired because YOU pounded on it.
This has been going on for at least three years and incompetent GM hasn't managed to fix it properly yet.
The entire roof doesn't come off, the glued on roof skin delaminates and flies off the roof frame. It has nothing to do with the latches.
It was a well documented problem at least a year before GM acknowledged it. My roof skin has been replaced twice, in both cases I took the roof off, put the roof in the trunk and took it in to the dealer before it blew completely delminated. Some people have had the roof skin delaminate from the roof frame and blow off at least 3 times because the maroons at GM don't know how to fix it properly.
