My 2007 chevrolet corvette coupe has since original purchase has made popping noises. It has been taken to the dealership several times. I even took it once and told them there was a recall on some tops. They informed me that my was not included. The first couple of times I took it in the dealership did do something that made an improvement but the noises comes back. Now it is a constant and embarrassing noise from the top. Even though it is not included in your recall I question whether a top might have been put on to make the sale since I wanted a painted top instead of a glass top. This is my 4th corvette and have nothing but bad experiences with glass tops. My question is: what can I do about these noises.
