Well after almost 2 years and 20,000 miles it looks like I now have the dreaded 5th bow disease. However I am on vacation in Florida so I can't get it to my dealer for at least another week so I will have to just live with it and hope the water management bag is still in tact and I won't get a wet rear carpet. I have no way to keep it out of the weather until I get back home on Sunday the 25th.

After having taken a break from these threads for my own sanity, I'd hoped that there was some resolution ....guess not. My dealer keeps passing the buck saying that GM has no new top mechanism to replace mine with and that he's keeping an eye out....obviously not. It's parked for the winter so I guess no new rub mark wear 'til next year.
Sorry you guys are still feeling the pain. Tib

I believe my vert was built in May 2012 and the rub marks showed up on mine, just put it in the shop for replacement.
It also had a clunking noise in back passenger side when opening they will be looking at. I will say there was absolutely no question when I took it in, so as much as I feel for the early people with this issue, I'm glad yall fought through it and overcame GM's usual apathy towards fixing this type of issue, or even admitting there is an issue. So this is a big thanks to the early sufferers..... |

I just got mine back from the dealer. They replaced just the 5th bow and it was sent to an offsite shop to do the work. The top and car look good now it's nice and tight and there is no sign of any damage to the other trim or paint. I won't really know if there will be any other issues till spring as I will be washing it and putting it in storage this weekend. I did express my concerns about the factory warranty running out and future issues. The service manager filed a request with GM to extend the top warranty for 2 years. They told me they should get a response from GM in 2 weeks we will see.

I have an early build '12. it had the converible top tsb rollup done before i picked it up at the end of May. the only rubbing marks i see are the v - fold marks in the "c pillar" area. no other rub marks or cable issues. I presume that the v - fold marks are normal.

I have to give kudos to my dealership and GM on my 5th bow problem and repair. I asked the service manager about getting the top warranty extended due to the known issues with the 2011 models and he told me he would file the paperwork. This week I was notified that my top is now covered until Dec 2016. I did not have to argue or fight with anyone so thanks to Paddock Chevrolet in Kenmore NY for knowing how to take care of their customers.

Still seems to be hit and miss on whether a top get fixed right, or even fixed at all. If GM gave a damn, they would simply direct the correct fix for all of them, and put an end to the shell game.

Is there a way to check my VIN for available TSB's? My car has been in storage for about 6mo, and I just got it out this week again. I am not seeing any issues but would like to be preemptive.

Send a PM to Brandon (Chevrolet Customser Svc) with your VIN number and request and he will look it up for you.
