Unhappy Camaro convertible top wearing

I just had a new top installed on my 2011 Camaro because it was wearing a hole in the fabric. They also did the recall to correct the problem. I now notice after one week, that the new top is also wearing! Has anyone else had this problem after getting the recall done to fix the problem? If so can anything be done to correct the problem short of having another top installed? Love the car but am upset about the wear.

They probably didn't adjust the top right since the replacement. Had mine replaced for the same issue as you. but since may (after the replacement) I haven't had any issues with it. every chance I get I put it down, and back up before I get out of the car it goes back up.

Have you taken it back to the dealership to see if there is anything they can do for you?

Please let us know if this is an available option!

Find out if your top replacement was done with the top retrofit kit released by GM on 6/27/2012. Who knows, maybe the dealer purchased an older top. I would hope that GM pulled all the old ones off the market but you never know. The part number is somewhere in the thread that theragtopguy posted in this thread.
