The first time it happened was quite shocking. You're sitting there one second...and the next, you're looking up at a beautiful blue sky. Oops.

So, I went onto ebay to bid on a roof and it struck me that the other 15 people bidding probably had also been victims of the same faulty engineering...so in effect, it was kinda like an ebay Village Idiot's Convention.

I was going to place a bid but then realized how demoralizing it would be lose the competition.

So, I just ordered it from Chevy.

Next time, I'm going to order a half dozen because it's happened three times now.

What year is your Vette, I am assuming it's a 2005 or 2006? I believe they changed suppliers for 2007 and fixed the problem.
