  • I suspected my convertible top was misaligned when i picked it up from the dealership and iT was worse than i expected. Rather than take it back to GM i adjusted myself. #c8corvette #corvette #convertable

    Good fun watching you shuffle cars in the winter. Vicarious Corvette entertainment. Thanks Mike. They should definitely have fixed that top before returning the car.

    Great video Mike really enjoy watching you work on your Corvette. Glad you were able to get the top adjusted. Thanks for sharing stay safe Mike.

    Gorgeous car, but that's the kind of stuff that would drive me bonkers, especially if it produced an air noise/leak where there was none before. I wish you good luck with it.

    This video just highlights all the stupid crap that people buy. Just a garage full of absolute junk. The only thing that I could tolerate owning here is the red C2 Coupe.

    A perfect example why GM is not ready for cars like this. A 100k car with a dollar store service department. I dread taking my corvette to the dealer for anything. Get some sonax alcantara cleaner for the fingerprints on your interior.

      Me too. I have some autoglym interior cleaner that I sprayed onto a microfiber and it seemed to do the trick but I'll have to check that other stuff out as well

    Great video! My dealer is 5 minutes away but in your situation,I would have done the same. At least you know it was done by you and care was taken. Who knows what else they would have screwed up if you took it back. Stay warm! 👍😎

      After having the convertible, i wouldn't buy another coupe. It's so nice and easy to put the top down

    Fellow corvette owner. You have every right to be pissed off. I am a diesel mechanic in hard rock mining and I take pride in my work but I get paid big bucks. I don't work on cars because of flat rate

    If you want reliability buy a Toyota if you want safety get a Volvo if you want style get a Ferrari.If you want all 3 get a Porsche.The C8 also has serious transmission problems.Just like GM walked away from the C-6 LS-7 ZO6 engine problems.

    Mike on you video you talk about having your cars on a second level. Take a look at Advantage Lifts. They make a double wide and multi level. They are a little less the Bend Pack but just as good. I love mine.

    Mike they are the dealer, You are the customer, take it back even if you have to wait until spring, they won't change until you make them. Also keep in mind, if it's under warranty and you adjust/repair/whatever, if something goes wrong................."Oh you voided your warranty"...........sorry.

    Scares me to death dropping off my car to a dealer, scratched up my carbon fiber door panel and a 7 inch scratch on my rear quarter panel on my 23 SS when I had it.

    Keep one thing in mind, Mike when you get your CSI report I repaired it was done. Tell him how you really feel.

    A GM certified Tech, the MOST important part of a repair is "beating the flag hour" time quote in order to make money! If you want better service, you need to pay the higher rate (by the hour) for cars that are out of service. A two tier pay scale.

    Trouble is Mike they probably don’t sell a hell of a lot of Corvettes in PG plus even less convertibles that they have worked on.
    I bought a new 1976 Trans Am Firebird at the Pontiac dealer down in White Rock, BC…took it in for 1st service there and they scraped the fender on the hoist or shop door! They didn’t say anything to me but I saw it and called them out on it. They didn’t have a Bodyshop so I took it to another dealer and they paid for it. Service manager said nothing to upper management but he got fired when they found out for that and other things he did!

      Yeah i think this was the first transmission they've had to do too.

    • @corners3608

      Pretty complicated top mechanism by the looks of it…lots of moving parts. Newer Porsche Targas and 57-59 Ford Skyliners come to mind.
