Yesterday the GM quality people came out to the dealership after my 5th bow failed 1day after the GM reps replaced it.
Quality people took couple dozen still shoots and videoed the removal of the canvas to expose the mechanics. GM quality people then had a conference call and we all then got on the phone together. The opinion was to replace the top, mechanics, and all brackets with a the new system right off the production line. Hmmmm, I had to ask if this is the fix they have promised since January. They were quite coy and said I got the fix previous but this replacement was if nothing else works. Looks like the instruction from GM are to try all the bandaids before replacing the whole thing. Both me and the dealer mechanic felt vindicated as we said this for the past two weeks as we looked at some of the new 2012 verts just recently shipped in.
The new top and mechanic were shipped in late yesterday and the fitting of the whole new mechanics are happening today by the GM quality people. I'll be going to have a look at lunch time to see the progress. I am interested to see the canvas as the new 2012 ones seem to be as thick as my original, not as thin as the replacement.
