I still have the old style bag installed, but he said it had no damage, and good clearance for the retracted top. I didn't ask about the extended warranty (I saw your post too late), but he can't clear the service order until today because of the rental car, so I'll ask him to check into it for me.
Thanks Gio. Glad you're still happy with the tonneau cover clips. I made 3 more sets for folks here last year. I made these a little thinner, and the hole larger so the top hat bushing doesn't have to be reversed. I still have the prototypes on mine. I've had several runs over 110 MPH and the top doesn't even flutter.
Still lovin' the car!!!

I believe it is the smaller (older) water management bag that typically causes the bow #5 failuer. I'd talk to your dealer about replacing it anyways.
