Kudo's and a top fix update

[95birdible]

Thanks Dragon. My parents taught me as a youngster to not sweat the small stuff and fight for what you believe in and to be true to not only myself but others. I hope I am conveying that in here. Thoughtful discussion, emails, etc get more places that just whining. To all I thank you. And I cannot wait to post up the pictures of the new ride. I will miss my old one but problems from day 2 of ownership make the transition a little easier.

Do we know the solution for the holes? Is it the headliner bracket like I pictured? I guess we have to wait until your car shows up!

Congrats Birdible... and i hope this is the beginning of good things for us all!

I almost gave up on my car, and i REALLY woulda been kicking my own butt if I had, and suddenly the tops were fixed!

Thanks for all your effort!

I hope that the new ''fixes'' include the 5th bow problem and not just the rub marks. Is there any info on that?

[95birdible]

All I know is what I was told. All the fixes are on the production line with the exception of one which will be put in next week. This came from my service manager who talked to the bosses at the top that told me to just order a car. I think they are a little sick of hearing about me and my car. If I find out anything more I will let you know.

Nice work J....

Thanks Doc.

Congratulations on your new car! When you get it, please let us know what looks different about the top with all the fixes built in. I've seen some rumors that massive changes would be required in order to eliminate all the problems, but since they have been implementing these fixes a little at a time they sound more like incremental changes. I'll be real curious to hear if there are visible changes.

[95birdible]

I will do that for sure. What I have seen on my 12 versus the 11 so far is the water management system seems to sit lower on my 12. The 11's seemed to sit higher in the well hence the bow bending. We went over them pretty good on Tuesday in comparison. I guess we will see in about 2 months. If any of you see new ones on the dealership floors in the next few weeks please check them out. From what I saw yesterday the ordering system will be down next week so no orders will be taken. Mine will get put in two weeks from now then I will get my order number and TPW. I even got to walk the salesman through the ordering process cause he wasn't sure what he was doing. HA!

I would like to give a big shout out Thank You to Al O, Jack P, Janice my Chevy rep, Mark and Gene at Friendly Chev in Fridley, MN. And super shout out to this forum for all the help you have provided me. You helped me get into a new car and I should have delivery in late April or early May.

That is about it for now. I will still be active on this and the Facebook page as I am in this for the long haul for all of you. We are brothers in arms and I will not stop until every last car is fixed.

There was a problem with the top?

Just joshing seeing how at least 10% of the threads on the vert section is talking about top issues. I hope mine remains issue-less!

[Indiana Rocket]

Great news! They are replacing my top for the first time this week. Hopefully that includes all of the fixes that they know about including the one going in next week in production.

[95birdible]

Nah, my top was fine. It was the damn blinker fluid reservoir they couldn't get fixed.

[Baba]

Congrats, Bird. Hope your new 'vert is the best!

Thanks for passing along top-fix info. ALWAYS good to know (even for those of us who don't yet need to avail themselves of then nitty-gritty).

[OrangeVert]

Jason, congrats! And thanks for staying the course to get fixes for all of us. Now I won't be worrried every time I lower the top. Just in time for spring!
