Subject: TRANSPARENT REMOVABLE ROOF PANEL BREAKAGE
Model and Year: 1984-87 CORVETTE
TO: ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS
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 break the rear edge of the removable roof.
When installing a new transparent removable roof replace the old plastic storage covers with the new covers:
