THE REAR WINDSHIELD HAS BECOME DETACHED. THE CAR IS LOCATED IN INDIANA AND THERE WAS NO VISIBLE WARNING THAT THIS WAS COMING APART. I HAVE CONTACTED A CONVERTIBLE COMPANY AND THEY ARE QUOTING 1900 FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE WHOLE TOP. IN READING OTHERS COMPLAINTS I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE STATUS OF THE NHTSA'S INVESTIGATION OF THIS ISSUE. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND THE REAR STARTED TO SOUND LIKE SOMETHING WAS BANGING AGAINST THE BODY OF THE CAR. THIS PROMPTED ME TO PULL OVER TO INVESTIGATE. DUE TO THIS ISSUE THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IN ITS CURRENT STATE.
