Firestone has a run flat at a good price, front $210, rear $295.
Never had a brake noise problem on the C6 but did on the Chevy truck I drive. Went to Powerslot rotors and haven't had a problem since. Soft pads may be the answer since OEM in most cases are rather hard, easy change.
My top, tinted, has never made a noise except when I might be in a hard twist getting into a sloped driveway. The problem you have may have a fix if the reason can be pin pointed, such as adjustment issues, a bad latch, or maybe even bad installation of the weather stripping. That you're going to need a good body man at your dealer or a competent independent. Myself it would never get back to the dealer for that and I would take the time to figure it out and fix it myself. Most of the time the problem will identify itself by the chaffing marks it leaves.
Also, ever since I got my car the breaks squeak. I've been back to the dealer a few times and once he cut the rotors and it stopped squeaking - for a few days but then it returned. Am I right to insist that an expensive car such as this should not have squeaky brakes?
Finally, as you may know the clear top has an issue with making noises too at the place where it connects in the front. GM has a fix for this and the dealer implemented the fix. Yet the squeaks remain. For the life of me I don't understand why they don't just use some felt strip to eliminate such squeaking. Anybody know of a fix.
Thanks.
