Mine is doing that as well. Have had no issues with it wanting to fly off though, up to 80mph anyway, windows down. I will be taking it in for the "satisfaction recall" top fixes next week and will be requesting a new cover.

decepticon-vert · 06-21-2012, 09:01 PM

Funny I never really paid attention to it until now. Mine has it on. Ith sides, I use cover all the time.

Let us not forget what a run away tonneau cover could do to someone riding a motorcycle....

DON'T THROUGH THE BABY OUT WITH THE BATH WATER..... It's not OUR fault that Mr. Roper has a coupe and lives in coupe country PA. BTW; No issues with the cover at 140MPH....Oh, that's the 2SS/RS 446HP (dyno'd) not the V-6. You see Mr. Roper, Bullying is not cool.

I was wondering the same thing. Too many years in close proximity to a reactor I presume

BlueChev · 07-04-2012, 11:29 PM

We almost bought a new 2011 from a dealership and I noticed this problem on the cover - it had never been used. We ended up buying a 2012 a few weeks ago and it shows NO signs of this problem (yet).
Dealership said they knew of a customer who lost his 2011 cover at just over 100 mph.

Capt_Pooty · 07-05-2012, 12:28 AM

Same thing !! Taking mine in for Top recall and guess I will be getting a new cover as well !! What else could go wrong ..GEEZ

SSTOKED · 07-05-2012, 08:25 AM

Mine just started doing it yesterday. Probably heat/sun related. Mine is the old style. Car built 4/2011

THarmon · 07-05-2012, 08:41 AM

Yes, Mine is doing it on both sides.

Nasty1970 · 07-06-2012, 09:34 AM

yup mine is doing it too. I dont use the dammed thing because it wont stay on, and I dont want to constantly have to look in the rear mirror to see if its ganna fly off and hit another car.

I would love for them to replace this piece of junk cover. When I go to shows, I would like something covering the top, ive had to clean bird crap off a few times becuase its not covered.

Capt_Pooty · 07-06-2012, 09:46 AM

Dropped the car off today and they are suppose to look at the cover as well ! I have the newest model cover but we will see what they say ???

I'm assuming you have the old style. I haven't had trouble with mine coming off. Be sure the clips actually clip on the bolts. The new one has bungy chords instead of clips. Someone on this forum added a strip of velcro on the front side where it tucks behind the back seat.

'11 cyber grey vert · 07-06-2012, 12:23 PM

update on mine,
now starting to show the bubbling effect.Must be heat related which causes the delamination.Darn camaro drivers for contributing to global warming!!!LOL

If you are still in warranty have them replace it. The tonneau was redesigned for 2012 and stays put a lot better than the 2011 tonneau.

Stopped by my dealer and they took a Loookie see at the tonneau cover ( bubbles,delamination or what ever just like OP original post pictures) mines on driver side. No problem what-so-ever..new one ordered

SSmokinHot! · 07-16-2012, 07:05 PM

Mine is fine so far. Only used it once though. It does have the bolts and did just fine at 70mph.

SSL Callaway · 07-16-2012, 08:24 PM

Mine is starting to peel away from the plastic on the side piece.

Mine Just started showing this too I looked at it when theis thred started and nothing now we had som hot days and I see this starting!!!

On fly away problem I added Velcro to cover and along back of seat cover does not move now not worried about fly off now!

Jetcop20 · 07-27-2012, 06:52 PM

On the 24th picked up my new cover to replace the Delaminated/bubbled original. 1st one worked perfect at speeds up to 140 with NO lift/pull. Great design. New one even came with little rubber booties on the pointed front insert part..and a diagram of install/take-off /storage. It should all be this easy.

'11 cyber grey vert · 08-08-2012, 10:10 AM

picked up a new tonneau cover today.This one is the new model with the bungee cords.I find it harder to put on and off than the clip method that was on the original.
Hopefully this one won't delaminate.It seems the material used on the new one is different also.

bombgolf · 08-08-2012, 12:16 PM

Do you find that using the tonneau helps with the rubbing and pinching or does it cause more problems?
