TOP Tearing issue

Parrotguy · 10-20-2010, 02:56 PM

I took delivery of my roadster at the end of May. Living in San Diego I have left the top down pretty much the whole summer. I have operated the top maybe 20 times and have no wear spot or crease but I am worried that its only because I have not been operating the top much. The hard protruding frame spot is very noticeable when you run you hand over it, and I'm also worried that because I operate the top so infrequently, the top won't be ruined until I'm out of warranty. I had planned to keep this car for a long time. The fabric inner-lining prevents us from adding some cushioning there.
I am going to send this thread to my dealer and see what they have to say. I'm wondering how many owners are having this issue and don't read this forum and/or haven't looked closely at their top.
