Look for Raggtopp cleaner and protectant for cloth convertible tops on Amazon. I learned about it here from some of the other discussions. It just stopped raining here so I'll give it a try this weekend.

I pick this up on Saturday...traded my 2014 2SS. Can't wait.

Curious if anyone is having similar issues. When the top is stowed (down) it's rubbing the tonneau in at least one spot that I've noticed. It appears that the top is not getting fully seated in the storage well. These pics are from the driver's side. I don't see the same issue on the passenger side, yet. I'm going to have the dealer take a look. Not looking forward to that.

Possibly a dumb question here.
My grandson wanted me to take him to see a 2017 Camaro vert at a dealership yesterday. He had a good look throughout the car until it came time to see the trunk and see the top go up and down. The top stopped half way down and wouldn't cooperate for the salesman. As I looked in the trunk and under the roof I wondered where they could possibly store a spare tire. I assume they use the runflats because there is no spare. The salesman was too distracted and frustrated with the top so I decided to say goodbye rather than ask.
Can anyone tell me if any of the new Camaros or Mustangs have room for a spare tire?

Hey, RicSimonis,

Have you taken it to the dealer yet? Hope it's an easy fix... hope....

Random question for you convertible owners. I was thinking of getting another convertible since they are a lot of fun to cruise in, but am scared of having no rollover protection, especially since I love to beat on my cars. Does not having a fixed top scare any of you guys from driving it hard or fast? Does anyone plan on installing a roll bar?

I know when building the Mustang online there was an option for a full-size spare. I don't believe there is for the Camaro, it's either a flat repair kit or nothing if you have run-flats.

I have no plans for a roll bar. Without a hard top, the convertible has an even lower center of gravity than the coupe and they are pretty tough to roll. Not impossible but not easy either.

Thanks...I'll post new pics shortly...got the windows tinted, color match splash guards on and will be tinting the third brake light and all the reflectors this weekend.

I didn't think I could like one's looks more than my 14' Red Hot with all the flat black accents...I WAS WRONG!!!!
