Ugly as homemade shoes, and the build quality of a Yugo.

'Course, I already knew that.

"today's recall certainly won't elevation public perception of the car's fit and finish. "

"You'll know for sure that you have the problem if the roof flies off. Or before that point, you may notice "a snapping noise when driving over bumps, wind noise, poor roof panel fit, roof panel movement/bounce when a door or hatch is closed, or a water leak in the headliner," according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recall text."
Ya think?!

I lost the roof on an 86 vette. Not really the same issue, not adhesive , but shoddy latches instead. I was going about 60 , the roof did not live, I did not even try to bring it home, thousands of tiny little pieces. I will never forget the " whoosh" sound it made as it lifted off.

Second problem they have had trying to glue the roof on, perhaps they should try screws or something mechanical.
