13's have this issue too but doesn't seem as frequent as the older camaros. Like I stated above I saw a '16 in the shop recently for top rubbing issues as well as leaking

Vintendo, looks like my orig post got deleted, or I forgot to click ok.

Great post! Except for the Corvettes, my story is similar - had a '71 Chevelle vert right after high school in '79 that rusted away the next year. Then saw another in a body shop when I was homeless (seriously) in Bradenton, FL in 1983. When I finally got to a point I could buy anything I wanted in 2012, the 2011 SS verts were just coming out.

Almost 6 years later, very happy. No mods, no need. All it has to do is sit there in the garage, and I'm happy just to see it and know the tables have turned since 1983.

Oh and btw, no top issues. Did have to get it adjusted by the dealer in 2013, and should probably have it done again.

got the car back today from the dealer. They did the bulletin on the Rear. The seals and the new Fluid and blots... It runs amazing!!

I had been saying that i couldn't believe a new camaro would drive So wobbly.. and I was right!! after the repair the car runs straight and firm like I expected.. they told me to wait 500 miles to see how it goes.. if not they would replace the rear... but So far Noise is Gone and its running Great

If adding a sub to factory radio, get a lc2i controller. It will make your life so much better and easier to install. It will let you get all of the bass out of the stock system with no roll off issues. Whenever I am adding amps to a factory radio I always use one. https://www.amazon.com/AudioControl-.../dp/B00IIL0LW0
