Convertible top

Was looking at a 2012 2LT yesterday and noticed all the convertibles on the lot had ripples in them. In other words, when the convertible is up it's not smooth, you can see the impression of inner framework. Is that normal?

welcome to camaro5. I'm pretty sure it's normal, but I'm a coupe man myself

Judy, I can't say, never been that close to a vert, but Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wive's, husbands and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.



oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

Yes, quite normal.
As being an owner of a vert myself, you can "see" the framework under the fabric top. All soft tops have this characteristic doesn't matter if it's a corvette or mustang or camaro...all the same.
The top should be smooth between the framework and the only thing that should be visible is where the cross members are.
