#5 bow bent
around the back of the car the top doesn't seal. My dealer here is pretty good but turns out the 2012 SS with 9,000 miles I purchased in Tulsa 2 months ago was sold in Nov of 2011 so the 36k or 3 yr. Warranty is up.
So now What? they say $800 to fix the #5 bow. Are there any other options? |

I couldn't have been sold in Nov of 2011, they didn't start building the convertibles until the last week of Jan or the first week of Feb of 2012. They made it to dealers in early March. It still may be out of warranty though. Was it a certified pre-owned? They come with 12 months? I would take it to a trim shop and see if they can do it any cheaper. The chevy dealer farmed out my top replacement to a local trim shop that does a lot of convertible tops and it turned out great.

Correct on the 2011. Mine was ordered in Nov 2010 and built in Feb. 2011. Took delivery in March 2011.

Your right, I answered before I had my first cup of coffee. I was a year off.

contact GM and ask for some assistance. The concern you have has been seen on several cars.

How would I contact GM and do you really think they will do anything being that the car is past it's warranty period.
