Does anyone have any experience to share with reinforcing the bow 5 brackets? I expect mine will fail again and so next time I plan to be ready with reinforced brackets. It's a tight area so I don't want to add any reinforcements that compromise the operability of the top by creating clashes.

I had mine fixed by the dealer two years ago, and no problems since then. I would have to believe the reason yours is acting up again is because your repair did not result in a true fix. These can be tricky, therefore I would suggest leaving it to a professional service team member. Yes, I realize that some don't know how to fix it either, but that's where your warranty comes in after paying for the repair. I would also inquire if any service members have done this repair before. Make some phone calls to various chevy dealers. Go to where they say "Yes, we have someone who has done that repair." Quite honestly, doing it yourself might save you money, but not time or headaches afterwards. You get what you pay for.
