VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NOT KNOWING THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CONVERTIBLE TOPS. TOP STARTED COMING IN A WHOLE SO TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND WOULD NOT FIX. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GM THEY PUT A NEW TOP ON IT THEN HAD TO HAVE NEW FRAME BECAUSE IT WAS BENT PICKED UP LAST WEEK AND NOW TOP HAS PULLED AWAY FROM WINDOWS AFTER TOP HAD BEEN ON CAR LESS THAN A WEEK. IF WE WERE TO BE IN A WRECK BACK PASSENGER'S ARM COULD GO OUT OPENING AND BE CUT OFF. GM NEEDS TO BE MADE TO PURCHASE THESE CARS BACK BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED, HAVE MATERIAL WHERE PEOPLE HAVE POSTED THESE TOPS COMING COMPLETELY OFF CARS GOING DOWN THE ROAD ONCE THEY SEPARATE FROM WINDOWS AS MINE HAVE. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR AND IT HAS STAYED IN THE SHOP MORE THAN I HAVE GOT TO DRIVE IT. BACK FLOOR BOARD IS WET FROM WATER POURING IN WHERE OPENING IS AND IT SOUNDS LIKE A TRAIN IS COMING THROUGH YOU CAR THEIR SO MUCH WIND NOISE. *TR

5-26-2012: CONVERTIBLE TOP SUPPORT BROKE. FIXED BY DEALER. NOW SEVERE OTHER ISSUES WITH CONVERTIBLE TOP, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE CAR FLOORS FLOODING WHEN IT RAINS, WIND NOISE FROM THE REAR QUARTER GLASS, AND SEVERE "RUB" MARKS FROM THE STRUCTURAL TOP ASSEMBLY. CAR HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR 69 DAYS AND AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER 44 DAYS. IT IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP. GM/CHEVROLET HAS BEEN NEGLIGENT IN THE HANDLING OF THE REPAIRS, ALONG WITH THE COMPLETE IMPROPER DESIGN OF THE TOP ASSEMBLY. THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT AND GM/CHEVROLET HASN'T PROVIDED ENOUGH SUPPORT TO GET THE ISSUES RESOLVED. *TR

WE DO NOT FEEL AS THOUGH LONG GM FANS SHOULD BE OUT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR RE-LETTERING, CUSTOMIZATION AND TTL FOR GETTING A VEHICLE THAT THEY STILL CLAIM THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX. *TR

WITHIN ONLY ONE MONTH CONVERTIBLE TOP HAD TO BE REPLACED. AFTER 6 MONTHS ANOTHER HOLE IS DEVELOPING ON THE CONVERTIBLE TOP DUE TO CHAFFING FROM THE FRAME ASSEMBLY WHEN DOWN. IT LOOKS LIKE THE FRAME ASSEMBLY IS CAUSING THE DAMAGE TO THE CONVERTIBLE TOP. *TR GM HAS CHANGED THE FIRST TOP BUT HAS PUT THE SECOND TOP IN A STATUS OF AWAITING ENGINEERING. TOP IS STILL NOT CHANGED. ALMOST 4000 MILES ON CAR NOW. *TR
