2006 corvette coupe top defect report. The bonding of the shell skin to the frame of my corvettes portable painted top came loose and nearly caused an accident on the highway. I was able to grab the shell and bring the car to a controlled stop. The dealer told me my car was not on the recall list, but they will fix the problem. I also have a clear tented top that may have the same defect, but they have not responded to my request to determine if the defect exists in the clear tented top.
