Geezerss · 03-24-2013, 04:55 AM

out here long island new york.. brought SS 2011 convertable in for wind noise and tape recall fix.. Now when I drive it i sounds like Grannys Dentures are loose and shes got hypothermia..... Any recomendations for a Qualified top shop that can deal with this would be great local dealer not interested or qualified, every time I get it back its worse than before..

That's the complaint of every vert owner. The vert tops are fails.

The rattles weren't there until they put a fix to it,, should never have brought it in thinking they could get rid of the rear quarter wind noise.. might have to inoke the lemon law, another joke,

I know a few people who have lemoned their verts. Don't hate the Camaro though. Get a 1LE or something if it comes to that.

You can find all the top issues here:

Reading an internet forum, you'd think they were though.

Just because people without problems generally say nothing while those that do rant about it at every opportunity. It can give a false impression.

My top is good,but the wind noise has always been there. Not taking it in unless something else goes wrong.

el ess A · 03-24-2013, 08:59 AM

What amazes me is how much wind noise there is when the top is down! (where it should be)

I agree that most issues are amplified because those without issue say nothing, so only the problem cars are mentioned. However, it does note trends and things to watch for when several people are having the same issues.

Call around to different dealers and find one that has experience dealing with top issues....either that or request a GM technician that has experience with these tops to come look at it.

How about posting some pictures of these problem free tops? Would live to see a close-up of the areas above both doors.
