Anyone have any luck with getting a wrinkle removed from their top lately?
I had good luck with the rub mark repair but I am still waiting to hear if they have come up with a proven repair for wrinkles before I bring it back in.

You're going to have wrinkles on a convertible soft top.

What you're not supposed to have is holes, leaks, and wind noise.

true, but they should go away once the top has been up for a bit... these don't ever leave

Had a solstice GXP for 4 years... never had a wrinkle... or a rub mark for that matter

You think so, I don't. My question is not weather you believe it's a problem or not, most would agree it is. A brand new top should not have all of the above. A wrinkle is not only unsightly but can cause wind noise and is a place for water to pool and not drain correctly. A properly designed, made and installed top will eliminate all the problems these tops are experiencing.
My original question still stands.

the only "fix" I have heard is getting a new top. I'm not sure why those wrinkles form. I didn't have them at all until after one of my many fixes for other problems. I know they readjusted the water management bag and i believe they did something to the roof frame as well. I noticed the wrinkles the first time after I put the roof down following that fix and they have been in place ever since.

I have wrinkles ever since they replaced my top. Before that it was just rub marks and indentations. At some point this has to get fixed. Saying the top is like folding a pair of pants is ridiculous. I've never spent 45k on a pair of pants and if I did, they better not wrinkle or leak!
