Convertible top replacement instructions
Hello,
I have a 2017 convertible. Wondering if anyone has been able to find instructions on how to replace the convertible top? My back window is on the verge of flying off my car I think I have the new one on order and should be here next week. I'm fairly technically savvy and if it's not too difficult I don't see why I couldn't do it myself but I am having an incredibly difficult time finding anyone who has done it before, any videos outlining how to do it, or any even general instructions on where to start, etc. Hoping someone here has found something? |

Forum member Uk2019 has replaced his top twice himself. Unfortunately, he has not provided a how-to write up.
Doing a Google search, I found this Technical Service Bulletin. I also found this procedure for replacing the top cover on 2011-12 Camaros. I would imagine some of the information may apply to the 6th Gen tops.

A lot of dealers don't even replace tops. My 2012 had to have the top replaced under warranty. I went to one of the biggest dealers in metro Detroit and they sent it out to a trim shop. If you are serious, I would start with getting a service manual.

2nd the recommendation on a manual. I wouldn't want to attempt it without one.
OP if you're willing to drive down to Bradenton, Convertible Tops and More is excellent and does the tops for local Chevy dealers Cox and Sunset. |
