The main thing I have seen is the tops are only as good as the person installing them. It could be the perfect top but if put on wrong problems period. These as we all know are not the easiest tops to install so you need to find the best top guy around you. I got lucky with my guy he had taken off my orginal top and then had to put that same one back on(long story) but since that no more rub marks at all and this is same top as before. I could be wrong but just my thoughts

I talked to Becky about the top issues and she told me that their "Top guy" has been working with the GM factory top designer and is now an expert in the tops and how they should be installed and work. She is going to have him go completely over the top and all the works to make sure everything is up to specs. If everything checks out we will be picking up the car next Monday.

my vin is 88530 and have the issues...broken 5th bow( repaired).
currently in for fishtank in rear passenger floor area.My dealer is fully aware of the issues and the GM service bulletin...keeping my fingers crossed on a good fix. They did a great job on the 5th bow and I have a better seal at the trunk area than what came out of the factory originally. |

So if, as rumor has it, there is a new roof mechanism rolling out of GM, does anyone know when it's due to hit the streets or are these replacements getting the old mechanism? BTW, top "fix" didn't do a darned thing, seeing the wear marks re-forming on the rare occasion I get to drive mine. They'd buffed them out to some extent but you can't buff out where it's wearing through the material....but it made them harder to spot. They're largely back now. Good luck Fishface with your replacement!
