Chevrolet Corvette water leak problems

Filed Jan 14, 2026 · Visibility · SC

We have a water leak that was coming in both windows and onto the floor. Since reported it the car will slow down while driving because of codes issues about the doors are not closed and it is. I feel it's due to the water leak that is coming into the car. Took the car to a Chevrolet Dealer in Columbia South Carolina and they said it was coming from the roof weather stripping. They said it wasn't a recall for the 2020 C8 Corvette corvette yet. Also called GM Customer care to see if I can get some help to get it fixed. No luck.

Vehicle has open recall 09v491 for roof panel separation. The roof on the vehicle has separated and come apart in pieces leaving the front seal exposed. Gengras Chevrolet in Ct has ordered and received the replacement panel which has now been sitting at their dealership for approximately 2.5 weeks because they refuse to send it to paint until they rectify the outdated paint supply reimbursement cost with GM. In the meantime I have not had a spot for the vehicle inside and if I dont know its going to rain or dont get the car inside somewhere in time the water leaks down the windshield post and into the body control module. Currently the car drains the battery, gauges intermittently do not work as well as the power windows, starter button etc. from a recent pop up storm. Ive been back and forth with the dealer and spoke to a GM rep, niehter of which have proven useful in the situation. I just keep getting pushed off and told that I have to wait for them to figure it out with GM, even though it could potentially take 2 or more weeks to paint the top once the body shop actually gets it. This whole process has started approximately August 1st.

Water leak in 2005 chevrolet corvette caused very strong mold/mildew odor in the car and destroyed the passenger carpet and insulation, which were removed by technician 122 at sun chevrolet in mcmurray, pa on 1/25/2012. Since driving the car without carpet or insulation, the metal on the passenger side does get extremely hot and could cause serious burns. This problem should be remedied immediately. Recently a rain storm caused more water to leak inside and collect under the passenger seat and almost damaged the electrical components located on the passenger floor while driving. Luckily I had a towel with me and quickly absorbed all of the water and returned back home to vacuum the remaining water before anything electric was damaged. This problem is still occurring and has been determined by a chevrolet dealership that it may be a faulty weather strip causing the water leak. If I had been going faster at highway speeds this could have caused major damage to the cars electronics and may have even caused the car to shut off which can lead to a traffic accident and cause major injuries or death. The weather strip should be recalled and/or replaced and the leak repaired by general motors llc at no cost because this is a safety hazard and a factory defect. I spent a lot of hard earned money on this car and did not expect any problems like this. This issue alone has already cost me $235.85 and hours of my life that I will no't get back. The problem was never resolved in 2012 and only got worse. The cost of the carpet and insulation, that were damaged and removed, is almost $1,000 for replacements and labor. General motors llc is responsible for the leak and should provide these items at no cost as well as a replacement weather strip that does not leak as the original is a factory defect. This water leak has been documented and diagnosed by sun chevrolet on 10/8/2013.
