Once the top & frame was replaced, it took 8 months for the drivers side to start flapping against the storage well when the roof was down. Either way, if it gets me a new top, let them classify it however they want to. Still going to use this as evidence for continued failure in design & try to get some better satisfaction with GM... |

Dealer replacement under warranty. Fabric was slightly peeling and getting frustrated wth the flapping... sent them pix and an explanation of how concerned I was for the car or motorcycle behind me if it flies off... especially after I asked for the new design. Instant replacement.

They switched to the new top mechanism in May 12. All 2013's have the latest version.

Still popping back in once in awhile to see what's new in vert land...
For those who've followed my story; top replacement is still 100% since last October. No rub marks, wear marks, wind noise etc... crazy to read how many people are STILL having issues! Keep the faith... living proof there is a fix!

Still have my early 2011 build and loving it. Had the top replaced very early when they first started doing it, did the SUX2BU fixes on it the day I brought it home and haven't had a problem since.
Like Coog said, hope I didn't just jinx myself! |

2 fabric tops (V marks & abrasions from top flapping against frame)
1 frame 1 5th bow 1 window regulator & motor 1 rear seal at base of roof I've gotten an extended warranty on the top & all "moving systems" until 6 yrs/91,000 miles. I've also gotten a check from GM for $2,700 for the time I haven't had my car due to repair time (7 weeks shop time). To me, it seems that GM has tried to give me justice. But I'll say this: if EVERY DEALER knew how to PROPERLY FIX THE TOP ISSUES, then we WOULDN'T be going back to them OVER AND OVER AGAIN! All cars have TSB's & some design issues, but the key to our troubles is DEALERSHIP MECHANIC TRAINING!!! |
