Sorry this happened to you, but you are not alone. It is one of many problems all C6s seem to have. At least the the targa panels on my car are good. Can't say the same about other stuff on the car.
FYI Z06 drivers: Except the engine, your cars are built no differently than any other C6 and therefore you will have similar problems. So you may want to hang out in the C6 section a bit more, because that is where most of the mechanical statistics are occurring. That way you will see recalls as they come up. There have already been quite a few...

Lightweight technology...now even lighter.
The Z06 is a bang for the buck, no doubt about it.
But I'm pretty sure that after all that early hype, reality will hit some owners soon.

I guess you could not really refrain from any comment when you spoke about reality hitting some Z owners soon. Well, reality hit me...the reality that I love my Z more than ever, 8000 miles and no problems, and my Z will blow the doors off of your 997TT on any track or road. Go ahead and make a big deal about a problem that happened to ONE Z06. But please lets not talk about the problem P-cars had when mufflers were falling off in the streets!

Its impossible for a Z06 roof to fly off. Its bolted on semi permanently. So either the owner messed with it or I suspect that that post is just internet crap.

it wasn't the actual roof that came off, but merely the roof PANEL. so it entirely IS possible. From what i read over there, the panel is glued on and that this is a known problem with regular C6's and GM has issued a recall saying this is a problem

RonnieC6Z, with all due respect why are you here? Why do you continue to stir up crap. Your ignorance is obvious by the way you still continue to compare your car to a car that hasn't even come out yet. If you don't like what we have to say, go to a vette forum, if vettes are better, why do you continue to stay here with us lowly Porsche people?

Grant is right, if you are a vette lover while you are more than welcome to post you have no room to complain. Complain on different forum where Vettes are considered quality cars.

I guess I've been driving my car too fast! Haven't lost the roof yet (only 1500 miles on it though). Yes, there's been one guy who's had the problem three times on a standard C6 (not sure what the dealer's doing). It's black and many are pointing to the adhesive that's being used. EMBARRASING! What are they doing? I had a C5 for eight years (black) with no problems.
I'm also embarassed when people come over here just to get digs in on the Porsche crowd for no apparent reason. The problem with the Z06 has nothing to do with being "faster" than the 997TT (especially when it's not out yet). They also tend to forget that all the times are posted by professional drivers and not amateurs. On the track, it's a possibility they'd get burried by a prepped 996!
For now, my car has been flawless. It has an unbelievable engine and chassis (when hooked in a corner, you can really feel how stiff the chassis is by all the feedback coming in through the seat of your pants). I'm loving it.
Oh, most Vette owners aren't as crass as the several that show-up here every now and then. There's a thread on the Corvette Forum right now where a guy is asking if he should by a Z06 or an AMV8. So far, it's overwhelming the number of responses for the AMV8.
