Convertible top has separated from the frame. Did not come completely off, but cannot drive car with top up (closed) as it will most likely detach at highway speeds.

Cadillac Xlr roof separation: I was driving a 2005 Cadillac Xlr South of I-75 when the roof suddenly, and quite unexpectedly separated at approximately 70 mph. I was driving in absolute terrible, rainy weather when the roof separated. Just before the separation I heard a very brief 'road noise' sound come from just above the rear view mirror, at the roof line. It had a similar sound to a window being slightly cracked and allowing in air. The next thing I know, I hear a very loud bang and an abundance of wind noise. I immediately looked in my rear view mirror and saw a large black object going end-over-end across the I-75 lanes of traffic. The terrible weather may have been a blessing, as there was nobody close to my vehicle at the time of the separation. Due to the rain vehicles were quite spaced and travelling at, what I consider, relatively low speeds for I-75. I cannot imagine the carnage if that roof skin would have struck a vehicle traveling in proximity to myself. The corvette, which the Xlr is based off, had a very similar issue and was recalled. Why has this not been addressed? someone is going to get seriously injured or killed.
