I am in complete paranoia at all times regarding the top. Worst case any guess what it will cost to replace a top outside of warranty and how to find a competent shop?

I just posted About my 2021 vert that both side covers broke in less than 4000. Top is usually down. Maybe 30 cycles in it.

2018 CAMARO 2SS convertible
I bought my 2018 Camaro 2SS convertible used with 13,000 miles on it back in 2020. The back window was coming out of the convertible top when I bought it. I took it to the local dealer and they put on a new top under warranty (they said as a courtesy). It took two days and they said they put there best guy on it. Turned out amazing and works like a champ. 18,000 mile now and looks perfect. I like that they honored the warranty even though I bought it used. I love this car! Top down is how it was meant to be driven in my opinion. No vision problems and the sun and wind feel good as well as the sound.

At 6,000 miles my 2019 (bought new in April 2020) started showing signs of the rear window popping out. At 7,300 miles it was over 50% popped out all around the sides and the curve's. Only the top and bottom of the window ere somewhat secure. The dealer just ordered a new window, and is installing it next week. Repair order says "check bulletin", so I don't know if there's a new service bulletin on the issue. They said it's the second one they've had with the issue but they hardly sell any Camaro's. We'll see how it does. It was fine until we had a storm with a lot of ice here in Connecticut.

I will follow up. They ordered the window and it's coming in Monday and they're doing the install on Wednesday. I know the TSB says to replace the top covering so if this doesn't work I'll go in with the TSB.

I’d be very interested in the latest service bulletin…. If you can share that, it would be great. Good luck…

The latest TSB appears to be 17-NA-216 and it's dated October 2020. I think all they did was add the 2019 to 2021 model years. My car was bought new only 16 months ago, so that rear window issue is troubling.

Glad you got it fixed… and I agree, the delamination issue is troubling. I wasn’t thinking about an extended warrantee, but it may be worth the $, if keeping for the long haul. Hope yours lasts a long time. |

GMPP told me the top fabric/glass is not covered by extended warranty. Only the folding mechanism. Hope that was wrong.

You’re probably right and sounds very convenient for the warranter…but, honestly, what do I know? This is my first vert and I have seen videos of other verts with delaminated glass….Although they have some decent time on them and use. It seems that somehow, some way they could make a glass insert bullet proof for 10 plus years (it’s not like this is new technology).

On the same note, my car is garaged 99% of the time, drive top down 99% of the time, and almost never open the windows while top is up and driving. If the sealant fails on mine, I won’t be a happy camper. |

I was wondering if because there is a TSB for the delaminating top that it would be covered post warranty.
By the way, I've had no issues. 2017 2ss convertible, 16500 miles |
