I got it around 9am. went home and picked up the g/f. got on RT30. was driving down that for maybe 2-3 miles. was cruising at 70.. then all the sudden we hear this weird banging noise and before I knew it.. I see this huge peice of metal FLYING in the air behind me. I quickly pull over and look at the car and find the skin of the roof is GONE!!!!!!!!! I started freaking out bigtime. I ran 1/2 mile back and picked up the metal, put it in the trunk and babied it off the highway. pulled into a parking lot and checked the car for damage. somehow. no-body ran over the peice and it didnt hit anyone or anything. It landed way in the grass off the road and there was no damage to the car THANK GOD!!! I called my neighbor and explained everything (expected him to start freaking out but thank god he was cool) and he had me take it directly the the GM dealership by us. He called ahead of me getting there and talked the service manager what happened. Then he called me back and told me that it was not my fault and there is a recall on the glue. what a feakin day!!! I couldn't believe all what happened. thank the lord that nobody got injured/killed from the flying metal in the air.

        I'm surprised the owner didn't know about the recall... I first heard about it last year.

        Or, maybe he already did and it was already fixed once and it flew off again! 0_0 .... that would suck if that was the case.
        Yes, I know \"Artic\" should be spelled \"Arctic\". Can any of the mods change this?

          Crazy glue can fix that.

                I'm not too sure if the targa roof is metal. Pretty sure it's fiberglass. All in all, I don't really enjoy the thought of glue being in a 50k+ car, though that's how the entire
                A-frame/dash assembly goes in.
