So I picked mine up friday. Top looks great! Very tight, no cables popping out, I'm very pleased. I haven't cycled it yet, and I was leaving for the weekend right after I picked it up, so I basically got home and put it in the garage... I'll get some pics on tuesday when I get home.
All I can say is demand a gm engineer to install your new top. I did, and couldn't be happier with the appearance! Posted from Camaro5.com App for Android

LOL..... your's HAS GOT TO BE DONE INCORRECTLY since I am told this is the only way to route the cables right from the dealership service manager !!! ![]() ![]() If I were you I'd demand that they slice up your weatherstripping with a razor blade and do this thing right.

I will get some pics up. But hey for all I know, once I do cycle the top the cables might pop out as well... I sure hope not thou! There are no more waves above the doors, and u could bounce a quarter off the top its so tight. I just hope I don't have any more problems with it! I get home tuesday, and will upload some pics then and cycle the top also.
If your dealer wont bring in an engineer, then its time to find a new dealer that will... Posted from Camaro5.com App for Android

This is amazing! Routing the cable is a simple process and the service manager sounds like an arrogant half wit must be a real pleasure dealing with that moron!

Base car, from looking at the inside quick on the way home, all looked good. Nothing jumped out at me as not fitting properly. I'll get a bunch of photos and do some investigating tomorrow when I get home. Esp around the rear window. Atleast then, all u guys getting sub-par installs thru top shops could print some photos to bring with u to the dealer and say "this is supposed to look like this" etc.

OK. Looks good, but how about rolling down back window, and GENTLY lifting the top fabric and taking a pic where the cables are "not showing". (If that makes sense). Is there any exposure of the cables? And where do they exit the molding? Thanks for the pics.

themoneypit, your top does look great !
Mine on the other hand.... still waiting for the next step. I refuse to take it back to the original dealer that screwed up the top the first time and have them put another 50+ miles on the car and "try" to understand how to fix it again. Customer sat ladies in the Phillipines I guess told me that I should take it to another local dealer they found with a different trim shop, so I took it over for them to look at and they said they would get back to me. Today got a call "sorry, the DSM won't allow us to work on it since they paid Spitzer Chevrolet to repair it and I need to take it back to them". Have been refused direct contact to the DSM, onsite/engineer repair, new top/frame, etc. Sitting at Wit's end here.... External guide wires, wrinkled headliner, etc. By any chance did you obtain the 25+ page instruction manual you can share? |

Well, GM customer service and my dealer told me today that everything was normal. That sucks. I guess I will print off some bulletins I found on Facebook along with the new kit part # and go shove it in their face....no more mister nice guy.
