That vinyl in the trunk, that's tied up is to block off the top area, right? Is only way to undo it is by cutting them? They don't have a snap or anything???

That is part of the water management system. It collects water when it rains and funnels it out under your car.

[QUOTE=MLL67RSSS;4417411]I believe the issue is with the glass window, NOT the top. If you lower the top with something too tall in the trunk it can break/shatter the glass rear window. Don't know on the new Camaro, but in some cars if you break the convertible glass rear window it requires the entire top to be replaced. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Knew someone (not in a Camaro) who put their top down while out and forgot they had stuff in the trunk. Powered the top down, almost down, motor strains/slows, POP!!!!!! Followed by the sound of the bits of shattered glass flying around in the trunk. ]
+1 Bingo. I don't trust myself.

I have actually put my top down with something too big ion my trunk a few times now. With the way our tops fold it is next to impossible to break the rear glass like this.

I don't mind the net nanny.
However, I was caught in a freak sunny day rain shower, I pulled over to put the top up and totally forgot about the tounel cover!! It heard the POP of the tounel cover popping loose. Man I so wish he vert was like the C6/7 vet! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I noticed that you can get the Stingray with an option to remove the roof for about 5k. There are clips inside the trunk to hold the roof when it's off. Would you rather have a removable hardtop like this or the regular vert? |

Retractable folding hardtop would be nice.

So the other day I wanted to put the top down. I pulled over and popped the latch hit the button and nothing happens. I get the notice on the dash about the safety net, so I open my door hit the trunk button and walk around back. Trunk still closed because I did not relatch the roof. Duh! Latch the roof pop trunk walk back and open the trunk and holy crap the trunk is full of stuff that I totally forgot about... I think I'll leave my safety net hooked up.

Mine is a daily driver, and I leave the net out all the time just in case I decide to put the top down whenever I feel like it. The net itself doesn't bother me too much. It is the fact that the damn thing snaps shut anytime you hit a pothole, turn a corner, etc. It scares the hell out of me for a fraction of a second, and then I have to pull over and pull the damn thing out again.
I thought unplugging it might not be a bad idea at first, but then it is always possible I might forget that I put something in the trunk. I notice the plastic rod is now bowed and the thing snaps closed more than before. Has anybody tried replacing with a metal rod, or done something so that it is not constantly snapping shut? |

Sounds like you might have a broken rod. I drive my car through the streets of Detroit - which are pot hole and rising expansion joint ridden - and I have never had it pop off on a bump.

It is not broken. It is in one piece. It has done it since new. Although now the plastic rod is a little bowed from having things in the trunk bang up against it when driving. So now it does it even more frequently with the bowed rod. That is why I was wondering if anyone had tried to replace it with a metal rod instead of the cheap plastic one it came with. Because I'm sure that even if they replaced the plastic rod under warranty, it would do the same thing eventually.
