I have only had mine for a week. So it still looks good. I can post pictures later. Are these issues impacting the 2012's too?

I wonder why it is so hard to get photos of the tops that people are satisfied with?! Members on this site are NOT shy about taking pictures of their cars.

Baba, your photos are way over compressed. But hey at least you are trying!

What gives?

Pssst...I'm going to let you in on a little secret...NO ONE has a top they're satisfied with. Those of us who say we do, well...it's a bold-faced lie because we're unable to face the horrible truth that, in fact, we don't...SSsshhhh... joking, of course.

I was concerned about size upload limits. I'll take these down and upload some larger, better quality pics up this evening.

Here's my top after 700miles mostly down. (1st pic is my little secret.

Looks good. My car's in the shop now so I can't make any comparisons, but I'm having a hard time making that first pic out. You mind describing? Looks like some fantastic DIY work to prevent rub marks.

Looks like your fix is working for the rubmarks...

There is that classic wave happening over the drivers door though.

Tstorm180 · 03-22-2012, 11:48 AM

Yeah what is with that f'ing wave? Though i'll take the wave if they can fix the rubmarks. Looks like babaron used a bit of foam and painters tape.

I'm bringing mine in for an oil change and another look at the marks tomorrow. I'm on my 3rd roof and this latest one is straight off of a 2012 they had on the lot.

I voted "Very Satisfied".

These are slightly resized pics from yesterday and today - uncompressed.

The wrinkles above the doors are somewhat visible. I also included a pic of where the top meets the frame above the trunk. Some of the gaps I've seen on pics other owners have posted are frightening - literally. My baby is also "water tight".

So they are some nice looking tops out there! makes me all the more upset with the condition of mine. This car sat on the showroom floor for at least three months with the top down, sure that causes all the deep side wrinkles.

Any more top photos?

blgl1800 · 03-23-2012, 02:23 PM

today was my day for a trip to the dealership for the "rub" marks on the top.
I buy a car every 21/2 years there, so I know them and they know me by first name.
The manager looked at it and did acknowledged there were marks on it (after a very long inspection - which I can't blame him). They have to have a regional manager take a look before any action. They funny part was, when I asked - have you seen this before - and they said NO? They have sold a dozen vert's and no one else has a problem? I'm hoping for the best - they fix it permantly. Beside the car I'm into it for allot of $$$$$ and don't want the buy back. Post more info as it develops.

belliott · 03-23-2012, 03:03 PM

I've never seen a top so clean and free of blemishes! Nice job. I guess GM needs foam and painters tape

hawk02 · 03-23-2012, 05:37 PM

I voted mostly satisfied. Top has some wrinkles but otherwise no rub marks. It's a '12 vert built in September.
