I found no damage to my car, inside or out. My interior was a little dirty afterwards, but, I knew that would happen. --KLG--

Perhaps the dealership had the upholstery shop send someone to do the work at the dealership. --KLG--

Glad I found this-I just noticed that my back glass is separating at the corner of the glass and top. I had so many top issues with my '12 and I was hoping to avoid it with the '17. Did anyone ever find the TSB on this issue?

Had my wife’s car in for a top replacement at a local convertible repair shop. He mentioned he just replaced a top on a brand new camaro (unsold) for a local dealer because the glass came unglued. He said he suspected that it was because someone (dealer or tint shop) used a solvent to clean the rear glass and it damaged/dissolved the urethane glue.
YMMV. |

I have an appointment with my dealer on Thursday AM. I will keep ya'll posted. I had a hellacious time with my '12 vert top, although my dealer service was superb, it was a long process to get it fixed. I've relocated since and I am hoping the new dealership will live up to my experience with Sir Walter Chevrolet.

Oh Man...
Saw this thread, went to look at mine & it is has the same issue. In fact, it seems to be popping up. Just 30 days & 500 miles. Where is this TSB?

Searched for the TSB.
Not completely sure this is it, but it was issued on April 30th, 2018. TSB #17NA216 NHTSA ID #10137486 APRIL 30 2018 Summary: This technical bulletin provides repair information to correct a customer concern of the convertible top back glass separating from top cover material. I am looking for the actual TSB, but no luck thus far. I do not know what remedy is suggested.

Had my appointment at the dealership today. They will be replacing my top after the holiday. My service advisor said they have done a few replacements for this issue and that there is a bulletin for this problem (and it will be handled at the dealership). They also have to replace the spring mechanism for the sliding flap that opens/closes when the top retracts/raises (there is a different thread on this issue). After explaining my experience with my '12 he assured me that these tops are a)much better overall and b)easer to replace. I will keep everyone updated! Fingers crossed and popping lots of Pepcid!

my two cents is a combination of poor quality for the adhesive and driving with the top up and windows down. I've noticed while I drive mine in this 'configuration' , from the rear mirror I see a lot of movement from the rear section of the top, it seems the air that comes inside generates an interesting pressure level and the weakest point is the rear glass , since it's glued from the outside. I used to have a Mustang convertible and the top I've replaced (the original was old and gone) had the double layer (inside and outside) around the glass, it looked more resistant. when I was shopping for my Camaro last month I found two convertibles to the dealer lot and both had the rear glass coming out. Honestly it scares me a lot and I was almost going to give up on a Camaro vert. When I found mine, on another chevy dealer, I ran on the back checking the glass |

Went to the dealer today, for about of other issues, which they are ordering parts for. In addition to those parts they are now ordering a completely new top due to the top beginning to "delaminate."
By the time they are done with my car, it will have all new parts to worry about...
