Well I posted my little saga with my 45th vert on another post about a 5th bow breaking. Here is the reply I posted:
"Well I just heard from my dealer in Denver that a newly designed 5th bow is in the works. From last Oct to about 2 weeks ago my 2012 45th vert was in and out of the shop more times than I can count. What started with its first oil change (in Oct 2012), led to a top (canvas) replacement, followed by new mechanicals, followed by a big leak in the back seat, followed by a 5th bow and water management bag replacement, followed by a completely new carpet! Something is still not seated correctly on the side of the 5th bow on the passenger side but the top is water tight (dealer flooded the top with water while the entire carpet was out). I'll just continue to hold out for a permanent fix."
Tonight since my knee is getting better (tore my patellar tendon completely off so obviously have not been driving my manual Camaro recently) I took my cover off to take some pictures of the top in the back where it has continued to have issues as described above. It looks like I have some of the similar issues of "5th bow disease" with the back of the top being pulled away from the edge of the trunk and the side of the top being wavy and not flush on the passenger side. Please chime in your opinion. It definitely does not look like it did when factory fresh. I'm just so frustrated that this ordeal has been going on since Oct 2012 when I took it in for the first oil change and mentioned the spots that were rubbing on the top!
