MY 2007 CHEVROLET CORVETTE COUPE HAS SINCE ORIGINAL PURCHASE HAS MADE POPPING NOISES. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES. I EVEN TOOK IT ONCE AND TOLD THEM THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME TOPS. THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES I TOOK IT IN THE DEALERSHIP DID DO SOMETHING THAT MADE AN IMPROVEMENT BUT THE NOISES COMES BACK. NOW IT IS A CONSTANT AND EMBARRASSING NOISE FROM THE TOP. EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN YOUR RECALL I QUESTION WHETHER A TOP MIGHT HAVE BEEN PUT ON TO MAKE THE SALE SINCE I WANTED A PAINTED TOP INSTEAD OF A GLASS TOP. THIS IS MY 4TH CORVETTE AND HAVE NOTHING BUT BAD EXPERIENCES WITH GLASS TOPS. MY QUESTION IS: WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THESE NOISES. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2007 CORVETTE WITH TARGA TOP. THE TARGA TOP MAKES A SNAPPING NOISE AS DESCRIBED IN THE NHTSA RECALL INFORMATION. THERE IS A LOUD SNAPPING NOISE MADE WHEN CLOSING DOORS, ENGAGING IN GEAR, AND ESPECIALLY LOUD WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS OF ANY KIND. CHEVERLOT STATES THAT MY VIN, EVEN THOUGH A 2007 WITH THE TARGA TOP MAKING THE LOUD SNAPPING NOISE, IS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING AWAY FROM MY HOME TO WORK, I WAS STILL ON THE MAIN ROAD OF MY COMMUNITY. THE REMOVABLE TOP OF MY 2007 CORVETTE COUPE FLEW OFF. THIS OCCURRED ON MARTIN KING'S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION IN 2009. I AM GLAD IT HAPPENED ON THIS DAY SINCE THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES WERE FEWER DUE TO SCHOOL AND GOVERNMENT OFFICES WERE CLOSED. ON JAN 2010, I DISCOVERED THAT GM HAD A RECALL WITH THE REMOVABLE TOP. I HAVE CALLED GM AND THEY HAVE STATED MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. HOWEVER BEFORE THE TOP CAME OFF AND NOW, I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AS NOTED IN THE RECALL. MY REMOVABLE TOP MAKES NOISE AS I DRIVE OVER BUMPS AND I HEAR WIND NOISES WHEN I DRIVE. *TR
