I just checked the mileage on the ZL1 and it's 2,887. I thought I'd already gone over 3K by now. Hmmm. Nothing is broken...yet.

And yes, I too, do not let the top slam down on the windshield. I bring it in close, grab the handle, then guide it down the rest of the way very slowly.

But I did purchase a new piece of front trim anyway to stash in the corner because if/when it ever happens, I won't be wishing I'd have bought one when they were still cheap and available. And the bonus is, if I end up getting rid of the car without using it, I can just sell it later. I know people will buy it. Because those interested in it actually would be needing it.

I don't wear driving gloves when I drive it, so I've already purchased new alcantarra shifter knob, boot, and steering wheel almost 10 years ago. I see those as high-wear parts. I keep them clean, but eventually that stuff's going to wear off. Again, they'll be highly desireable parts for those that need them one day, even if I don't.
