They should try driving a Viper....then they will have a whole new meaning for what hot can be like. I took the C8 out for a hard drive a couple of weeks ago in 36-38C temperatures and this C8 HTC runs cooler by far then the Viper from a radiant heat perspective.
This manual says that you can do while moving, but it does recommend whenever possible to do it with the car NOT in motion.
I wouldn't want to inflict pain!Who wouldn’t want an extra 2 inches……
HTC (Hard Top Convertible) failures in the C8 Corvette appear to be a recurring issue, though it's difficult to quantify their exact prevalence without comprehensive data from GM. However, several forums and user reports suggest that these problems are not isolated incidents.
Thanks for the info. My car goes in next week to get the tension cable replaced was a 3-5 business day leadtime for the part.HTC (Hard Top Convertible) failures in the C8 Corvette appear to be a recurring issue, though it's difficult to quantify their exact prevalence without comprehensive data from GM. However, several forums and user reports suggest that these problems are not isolated incidents.
These reports suggest that while not every C8 Corvette HTC owner experiences these problems, they are common enough to be a concern within the Corvette community.
- Cable Failures: Multiple users have reported cable failures that prevent the convertible top from operating correctly. These failures often result in a loud binding sound and the top not completing its movement. This issue has been reported across different model years, indicating a potential design flaw.
- Operational Errors: Some owners have experienced the top stopping midway with a "Top not secure" error message, which can only be resolved by manually operating the top from inside the vehicle.
- Closing Issues: There are also reports of the top not fully closing or making contact with other parts of the vehicle during operation, sometimes without any error messages being displayed.
- Parts Availability: A significant concern is the availability of replacement parts. Some users have noted that Chevrolet often lacks the necessary parts to fix these issues promptly, leading to extended repair times.

There is no C8 transmission problems, or I would have bought the manual transmission version.
