Post Camaro Controvertible Tops Only Gallery

If one picture is worth a thousand words lets see if we can give GM at least a million of em. Please easy on opinions, endorsements, rants, ideas, just post up the best photos of your tops... good, bad or indifferent and let the photos do the talking.

i voted unsatisfied- because i have owned and presently owned german convertibles
(my present one for over 22 yrs) and the tops have looked and worked flawlessly- so we all know that the technology is here- and has been around for years- this is not rocket science GM

I chose not satisfied, as my top has similiar problems, and all I can find is horror stories about having it replaced.

I chose not satisfied. Pics I will post will be of the original top and replacement.
The first 2 are the original top. The second 3 are the replacement. The second one literally fell apart when I put it down at the dealership back in February. Came apart behind the rear window.

Wow,
I am amazed at what I have seen on this forum. Let me explain,
I purchased a brand new 2011 triple black SS 2 convertible from my Chevy Dealer in Fairfield Connecticut. I drove 4- 2012's and 2- 2011's (All Factory New) before picking the one I wanted. I picked my car up the day after Christmas, I bought this car after extensive research and many test drives with several Connecticut dealers. It is not my every day vehicle more for weekends and summer time to relive my youth. Here in Ct we have had a mild winter where I have had my top down at least 12 times. No wrinkles,
no leaks, no marks or wearing anywhere. After viewing the pictures of other convertibles I feel so bad for other owners.

Thanks for the heads up

Gio

I wasn't sure how to respond. I was completely unsatisfied with my 2011 so I based my answer on that.
After GM buyback and delivery of my 2012 I would have to say mostly sastisfied.

*knocking on wood*

Apart from rub marks and some wrinkling, I would say I'm mostly satisfied with mine.

I concur. If you have a good top. Please post pics of it, model year, and day it was built. It should be an interesting comparison

Definitely good points / suggestions which I'll gladly try to help with. I'll try to upload some pics or even a video in a few hours from my iPhone. I'm also interested in seeing some stats on build dates / trim / types of issues.
