Top specific questions

A couple of quick questions for you smart guys - I did check the manual for these before I posted:
1 - Is there a minimum temp to cycle the top? The manual says the top can be closed at temps down to -20C (-4F) but does not list the temp at which it is too cold to open?
2 - Probably stupid, and most certainly retentive question, but I just noticed that with the top closed tightly (DIC message says folding top motion complete) it sits on the tonneau and there looks to be a gap of about 1/8-1/4" between the fabric and the black tonneau trim piece - NOT the tonneau itself, the top seal is resting/pushed down on the tonneau as designed. I assume this gap is normal correct? Again, I just never really noticed until tonight for some reason.
3 - Does anyone have the link to the 2017 Camaro manual on PDF? I have been using the 2016 because that's all I can find. Yes, I got a hard copy, but that stays in the car and I prefer the searchable PDF.

Thanks everyone!

Operating the Power Top
Press and hold the Open/Close switch (B) on the overhead console or the Convertible Top button on the Remote Keyless Entry transmitter (to lower the top only). The windows will lower automatically when operating the top. A message will display on the Driver Information Center when top operation is completed.
Note: The top will not operate in cold weather below 32°F (0°C).

Got that out of the Get to Know Your 2017 Camaro Guide on my.chevrolet.com. That is in relation to remote key fob. Not sure if that has an affect on using the overhead button.

Thanks for that! Ironic that the 32 degree is not listed in the manual like that. It is indeed in that supplement. Any thoughts on number 2 and 3 (tonneau and PDF of manual)? Thanks again!

Yes, that gap is normal.
