The back glass on my convertible is separating from the fabric. This isn't something I did or anyone else has done. This is a huge problem with thousands of camaro owners that have a convertible. Something needs to be done because its obvious that the design that was used on mine and many many others alike is a flawed and something that we should not have to deal with. Right now my only options are to buy a new top and spend over $3,000 to have it installed or buy some glue and rig it up myself but I refuse to do that. Please, this is my first Camaro and I love it and just want it fixed. I don't see any Mustangs or other convertibles having this issue. Attached with my photos is a screenshot from a Facebook post with over 300 comments of people having the same issue and also a service bulletin that was put out a while back. There needs to be a recall on this issue or lawsuits are going to start being filed. Thats what most people are threatening to do now.

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated that rainwater leaked into the vehicle on the front passenger’s side of the vehicle. The contact stated that they were unsure if the water was leaking by the rear seats of the vehicle. The contact could hear air entering the cabin of the vehicle and see some outside light entering through the top and sides of the convertible roof. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who stated that the sound of air and hints of light entering through the seal of the convertible roof was normal. However, the leaking was repaired by replacing the seals around the roof. The contact stated the failure reoccurred during the next inclement weather. Currently, the convertible top failed to return to the upward position after being lowered. Several attempts were needed for the convertible top to return to the closed position. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the repair was not covered under a recall nor under warranty. The approximate failure mileage was 40,042.
