I notice convertible tops driving down the road, I'll go as far as to say I can smell a convertible coming a mile away (not really but hopefully you get the point). And never, ever have I seen a convertible top from another manufacturer flop around the way an uncovered Camaro top does. The majority of tops I see from other manufacturers have some form of covering over them when down. Thus, I'll stick by my earlier statement that the biggest flaw GM made was not to include the tonneau cover (we can argue it's engineering merits in another thread) as standard equipment on ALL convertible trims. I think it's given everyone a false sense that the cover is not necessary. And from what I've observed, uncovered tops don't seem to be standard practice with the rest of the industry.

Is there a smiley/emoticon for "sold". You guys have convinced me. Either tight top while down or
standard supplied tonneau cover.
