2011 Camaro Conv. Top Leak??? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

2011RedCamSS · 04-15-2011, 06:26 PM

I just bought a new 2011 Camaro Conv. last Saturday and when I go through a car was, the top leaks... Has anyone else had this problem??? Taking it into dealer next week. I am just curious if anyone else with a conv. has any leaks. Both sides leak where the windows meet the top and the windshield pillar, but the driver's side leaks very badly. Any ideas???

I'm not sure this applies in your case, but in the convertible I owned before, the weatherstripping was only rated to a low psi. So in other words, no automatic washes, or pressure washing around the top/window seals.

Finally one problem I'll never have to deal with (I hope). Sorry to hear of your trouble with this.

Okay, I think I have a similar issue. Yesterday afternoon it was raining pretty good and on the drivers side a pillar, about 2/3 of the way up, I had some water (maybe 5-10 drops worth but enough to form a small trail) come what looks like between the plastic trim of the pillar and the moulding that holds the window gasket. The then ran down the a pillar trim and fell off onto the dashboard.

Sound like a similar place?
