Stopped by my dealer and they took a Loookie see at the tonneau cover ( bubbles,delamination or what ever just like OP original post pictures) mines on driver side. No problem what-so-ever..new one ordered

Mine is fine so far. Only used it once though. It does have the bolts and did just fine at 70mph.

Mine is starting to peel away from the plastic on the side piece.

On the 24th picked up my new cover to replace the Delaminated/bubbled original. 1st one worked perfect at speeds up to 140 with NO lift/pull. Great design. New one even came with little rubber booties on the pointed front insert part..and a diagram of install/take-off /storage. It should all be this easy.

picked up a new tonneau cover today.This one is the new model with the bungee cords.I find it harder to put on and off than the clip method that was on the original.
Hopefully this one won't delaminate.It seems the material used on the new one is different also.

Do you find that using the tonneau helps with the rubbing and pinching or does it cause more problems?

I think its an issue either way.When you don't use the tonneau cover , the roof material flaps around like crazy.
When you do use the tonneau cover,IMO, there is some extra pressure put on the roof material.so can't win either way.

I put the tonneau on for longer trips

my roof has some rubs marks and wrinkles but not terrible and not as bad as some other convertibles(regardless of make) I have seen.At the same time it is not as good as some other convertibles I have seen(regardless of make).So it is somewhere in the middle.The issues I have had were 5th bow and then water management bag failure.Roof seems to be okay so far since the repairs were done.

But in the meantime, the permagrin has returned and enjoying every chance I get.

Definitely check your tonneau covers.
On the way down to Camarofest from Chicago my friend was in front of me when his cover came off. All I could so was say O Sh@# and run it over.
Fortunately all I got was a few black smudges on the nose which I was able to remove with clay.
His cover is still on I65 southbound about 10 miles north of Indy.

Take the old cover to the dealer, request the new 2012 cover with the straps to help secure it in place. Safer and looks better. My thoughts.
