Exclamation Convertible Top issues document here!

First I love both of my Camaro's, but have not been impressed with the lack of customer service GM is giving me and the dealer for this issue.

My top has had issues almost since I bought it, when I picked it up I noticed the rear carpet was wet and the dealer said they would document it and they did on delivery sheet, then within 30 days rub marks started and then they brushed them out, no fix, now 2-3 months later rub marks are back as well as my top is leaking, and now a hole is wearing through the top from the inside of the top. My new local dealer made the appointment to drop off my car on the 31st at 830 and it's been there ever since.....GM told them not to apply the TSB to the car even though I printed it out for the dealer and GM then told the dealer not to fix my car!
Case number 71-1004635296
My local dealer would fix mine if GM would authorize the repairs! So far my car has been in the shop since last Monday at 830 am sitting there! 9th day and counting........GM customer service was to call me back Friday, well Josh and Shandra no calls, waiting on the call from GM Customer Service and District Rep........ Wow what service......

GM Why haven't you contacted the dealer yet since last Wednesday really 6 days ??????

Yeah, seems like the top is a known issue. We have a couple members that have had them replaced.

My buddy has same issues with his top.I told him to get dealer to document it .

I suggested that he wait a while to let GM figure this mess out then get it fixed.
