So I bought a new header panel last year and got it put on at an auto upholstery shop and it was great..... Until today. Hit a bump getting on the highway and now it is loose and rattling again. WTF? Is there anyway to not have this thing break? I know the part is cheap but it is annoying to keep having to fix it. The weird thing is it rattled like crazy, then all of the sudden stopped, but I know it is broken because it is very loose all the way over from the middle to the passenger side.

Rattle in my right corner of convertible
I would like to know how many people have a rattle in their header that goes across the convertible top on the inside. I called corporate after they wanted to charge me $289 to fix a part I can buy online for $29 but the car is a 2015. The bumper to bumper warranty has expired and my extended warranty doesn't cover it. I found out from my service department that they're having a lot of problems with their convertibles. so I'm trying to get a count of exactly how many people are having problems with them. The things corporate said to me was bullcrap . First they said that they didn't know if the convertible had been misused which I don't understand how you can miss use a convertible you just press a button it goes up and down. Then she said if it was used a lot. Wasn't that the point of buying a convertible as to use it a lot and if the parts can't even last 3 years what is that saying about the Chevy and corporate. Then they told me that I was the one who chose to buy the product.
If anybody out there can help me I'd appreciate it. t Thank you, Cindi. |

Good luck. GM customer service is the absolute worst I have ever dealt with.

I wish that I would've known before purchasing mine. I love the convertible, but would've bought a hardtop. |

Interesting to see others having the same problem. I haven't addressed it yet, but was planning on reinforcing the parts with epoxy or something like JB Weld.I would expect it was a torque issue that wasn't addressed during the design process.

I was thinking of drilling out the bosses on the header and using the rivet nut tool to install rivet nuts in the header, then just install it like the origional, you will see the rivet nut heads inside the car but you can paint them to make them less visible.

Broken Bosses
I'll be replacing mine tomorrow! Not sure yet, but I think all but one is broken. This may seem like a dumb question, but has anyone checked the length of the bolts as opposed to the depth of the boss? I'm just thinking that the screws may bottom out on the part too tightly, causing stress to the inserts. I'll know better tomorrow, but this part literally has zero stress once installed, so that's why I'm thinking it's the length of the bolts being too long. Thoughts?

Similar experience as theragtopguy - purchased my '14 with 1200 miles, by the time I had 10K (2yrs later), it had severe rattles on the passenger side. Took it to the dealer (with this post in hand) and had the header replaced under warranty as a known issue. I'm thinking you could do the same taking this post to your dealer to get your's replaced. I realize its dealer discretion, but you never know....

I'm not simply referring to the header panel, but to the multiple issues I've had with the top.
