I couldn't tell a lie.

Top replaced 5/3 through 5/18, top damaged and water system now leaking all over the interior. Interior damage as well. Among other things. The silver painted wheels are peeling, never used anything but soap and water on them. What a friggin nightmare. Car sent back to dealer 5/31 for disposition, we'll see next week what they plan to do next. On top of that there's the damage from the dealership that needs attention. No way should any dealer attempt to replace one of these if they are not trained by GM to do so. Period. Automobile Trim professionals are not born overnight, this kind of work takes experience - different animal than mechanical work altogether. No buyer's remorse either, it's just falling apart. I have bought four of these, 3 coupes, in the past 20 months. Not one of the coupes has ever acted up. As far as I know the new top (replacement #2) was ordered. Now with the interior smelling like rotting trash and looking like it went through a flood who know's.

I hope they realize that getting that stink out of there is going to be more than a shampoo. That carpet needs to be removed, and the car sanitized. I am sure the back seat cushions are involved as well. More on this later when I receive word on what is up next.

Dale, what's up with the fetish mask? Do you belong to the rainbow coalition?

A friend of mine had his carpet replaced after the water management system failed. You should ask for it to be replaced.

Mine was replaced after the same failure. Rear seat cushions too. Then I got a buyback.

No major issues but i had these perfect round dime sized marks on both sides of the convertible top. The dealer fixed it right away as it was covered with a open ticket in the system. Sorry to hear about your problems....
