My car was on the showroom floor with the top down for at least three months. No doubt the cause of the wrinkles... and the driver's side rub marks, can not be called holes... yet.

I also seem to just have the marks above the doors. Waiting and watching.

Per the email I received from the highest of people in the Camaro program their is a fix that will be released in January. Hopefully this will cure all our ills. If not. Lemon Law here I come.
This stuff should have all been thought of and worked out during testing. Using customers as guinea pigs doesn't make it. With the legions of "engineers", this big of a problem should have been caught before production. All they had to do is look at their past mistakes, and see if it was happening again.

Oh good one. I just thought about this; I could go to my dealership and get a vid of the brand new one with rub marks on the lot and put THAT on Youtube. Yeah, one more the show
