BREAKING T/TOP ROOF PANEL REPLACE PLASTIC STORAGE COVER

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1984-87 CORVETTE

Comments have been received that the transparent removable roof is breaking on a few subject vehicles. This breakage can be due to the glass binding in the plastic cover during removal from storage. As the owner raises the top to clear the latch, the plastic storage covers breaks the rear edge of the removable roof.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
