Convertible Top Recall - Page 38 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Just a really dumb question but why did you buy a top with holes in it already? I and many others would of run away as fast as we could from it. Now you only have 9k left on the top for warranty. Once it is out of warranty, you are out of luck. Unless you can get GM or the dealership to get you an extended warranty for the top.

Mine is fine but not many miles on it.It's waiting for the dealer to work on it for the recall.I called the dealer yesterday about when they want it,they told me it will be a few weeks as they have to send a tech for training on the recall first.

Jerry, don't feel bad about just discovering this thread.

I was on this Forum with a 2010 Coupe for nearly two years and never once looked at the Convertible threads
...until AFTER I traded the coupe for a 2012 Convertible.

There are already 2 small holes, one on the driver side and the other in the exact spot on the passenger side. When I bought it they made note on the ready bill of the holes and said they would take a look into repairing it. I also notice an odd odor in the trunk, or course nobody else could smell anything. Now I find this thread and Im scared this thing had water in it at some point. The top otherwise has a nice fit, goes up and down great, no wind noise, flapping etc. It is a "Certified Pre-owned" Vehicle with an extended 48,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty, and I purchased additional warranty to get me bumper to bumper to 102K. Of course the top is specifically excluded I believe. With the holes already in the top, should the next course of action be to replace it under factory warranty?

Car was shipped 5-19-2011

Brandon can you check out my VIN and see what has already been done as far as recalls etc.? 2G1FK3DJ8B9197865

Thanks in Advance,

Jerry

For the people buying Used Convertibles.
As far as I know there has never been an actual recall on the tops. There are some TSBs that address some issues but not all. I suggest if you have any problems take it in to the dealership ASAP and get it checked and documented. There are known issues with 2011 and some 2012 tops. Just because there are no open TSBs on your car does not mean they were completed correctly or it may be an issue not covered under a TSB. Still many people have had no issues at all. In any case I will say this again, take it in and get it documented at least. Your warranty should still cover it if it goes beyond the warranty period on any ongoing repairs.
