GM has a service bulletin about issue. it involves all 2016 to current Camaro Convertible models. Back window that is sealed to the top just suddenly pops out. Rolling down window at highway speed while top up just pops out back window. the service bulletin states that and insufficient amount of primer is used during the assembly process. This allows the material to separate from glass. Window just pops out. purchased car new november of 2018 with 50 miles on it. car is garage kept and has less then 17000 miles. i am on my 3rd top. Gm will not cover the serious and potentially dangerous problem. TOP right of passenger side window failed. driving with top up and window open will further seperate glass from top and blow out. car is not safe to drive with top up.

THE FRONT AND BACK WINDOWS GET A FILM ON THEM. WE WERE TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE LEATHER SEATS. WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING WHEN YOU START THE CAR THERE IS A SHIFT FLARE FROM 1ST TO 2ND SPEED. IT DOES IT ONE TIME AFTER IT'S BEEN SITTING FOR AN HOUR OR SO.

THE ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED AND APPEARS WORSE NOW. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE W/ THIS GENERATION OF CAMARO. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS IT IMPEDES IMMEDIATE VISIBILITY.
