STEPS 3 AND 23 IN THE SERVICE PROCEDURE HAVE BEEN REVISED. PLEASE REVIEW THE REVISED PROCEDURE IMMEDIATELY. DISCARD ALL COPIES OF BULLETIN 05112 ISSUED FEBRUARY 2006.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS PROGRAM IS IN EFFECT UNTIL MARCH 31, 2007.
Condition
On certain 2005-2006 Chevrolet Corvette vehicles, the painted roof panel may separate from its frame in some areas if it is exposed to stresses along with high temperature and humidity. The occupants of the vehicle may notice one or more of these symptoms: a snapping noise when driving over bumps, wind noise, poor roof panel fit, roof panel movement/bounce when a door or hatch is closed, or a water leak in the headliner.
Correction
Dealers are to apply adhesive foam to ensure proper adhesion, or in a small number of vehicles, replace the roof panel.

The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any purpose other than follow-up necessary to complete this program is a violation of law in several states/provinces/countries. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this report to the follow-up necessary to complete this program.

It's the same with valve springs, flywheels, and all the other bits and pieces. It happens with all manufacturers, whether it's airplanes, refrigerators, or toaster ovens.

Comments like the Corvette dumby bother me, having worked in Quality Assurance for 7 years.
There' s no excuse for ****ty build quality, period.
Problems like this most often occur when management is presented with data that supports a chance for trouble, and makes the wrong (usually less exspensive) choice.
Right now in Kentucky, there's a QA person saying "I told you so."
