I love my convertible. Only issue I have is a little wind noise from the back, but no leaking! I will put up with the wind noise rather than having them "try" to fix it and screw it up more.

GM bought my 2011 back and I got an 2013. No problems as yet, its been since Oct 12 and only 1900 miles. Like the upgrades on the 13.

A few months ago guys were saying a new top was coming out this April. Does anyone know if that prediction is correct?

Up until December I thought I was doing well with my Feb '11 build. I had the top replaced in Jun 11 for the wear holes, then the TSB's performed last spring when they were published. I've babied the top since then and inspect it every time I raise or lower it. In December '12, I discovered the 5th bow broken, even though the top hadn't been down for several weeks. They fixed it quickly and all seemed right. Then last month, while at the London Bridge gathering, we experienced heavy rains and my back floor was soaked. That was only the second heavy rain my car was exposed to, so it looks like I need the water management bag replaced. Then this weekend at the car show, I raised my top, and the whole section below the back window came up out of the car with the rubber seal flapping in the breeze! The new 5th bow lasted less than 7 weeks.
I stopped by the dealership yesterday. I told them I'm expecting a full top and water management bag replacement before my warranty expires. They are doing some research. The service rep seems to agree that replacing it at this point, and while its out for the water management bag, is the best option. I hope to hear from him today. More to come...

Remember if you have documented issues with your top or any other component that are unresolved or on going, the warranty time limit is NOT an issue. GM has to make it right.

Still happy with my 2012 built in September 2011, it sits outside 24/7 there has been a lot of heavy rains along with several snows. No problems. I can't wait for spring....

Concerned New Camaro owner!
Just bought my 2012 1LT vert new last Friday and I am reading all about these top issues and I'm getting worried! Mine has a build date of 9/11 and there seems to be a larger gap on the driver side as I show in the first pic below....is this normal? All these stories of leaking and top issues make me wonder if this thing has been sitting out at the dealership for awhile with this. Any input/advice would be appreciated!! Thanks!!!

Gave up on the vert, but I will miss it. I had my truck and boat, and with all my travel for work, the wife was left with the Camaro - but with our first grandchild on the way, she needed something much more practical and something to drive year round.
Replaced the 5th bow and water management bag in April 2012 and traded the car in November 2012, for a Subaru Forester. Week ago Friday, traded the Tracker for the Lund. That helps ease some of the pain. Will check in now and again - It's been a blast, and want to wish you all the best of luck with your cars. They truly are amazing. Mike |

My top was replaced the first time but they didn't fix anything, so I came up with all my own fixes. Ever since if you look real hard you can tell where the rub marks used to be. I use the crap out of my car on a daily basis and it has what i consider to be normal top wear.

Mine is 115896, so it looks like mine was built before yours. Maybe mine was built earlier than September. Even though the date sticker says 09/11 on it.
