Just bought new 2012 top problems

airinf1976 · 09-30-2012, 08:30 AM

I just bought my new z this week and twice after it has been parked in 90 degree heat. I have started it up and after a 1/4 mile or so of driving down the road the light that shows the top is not down completely flash and a beep sounds. I have check the truck to make sure it is closed and I have opened the top. Also I notice on both sides of the top a bump in the material at the end of the first support rail. I opened the top just enough to see under the top material and noticed that there is a velco piece with a small hard plastic strip glued to the velco which is also glued the the inside of the top material. I live in a area that is hot it appears that the glue is melting and this is eating the form on the headliner. Any body have any ideas.

I have not heard of anything like this in other posts. I suggest you get it to a dealer before there is any more damage.

Can you post a picture of it? My top makes vibrating noises when I go over bumps. I also looked into the windshield structure and noticed some odd designs. I'll get around to posting a picture of it.

I've read other complaints of the roadster top relating to not closing properly. Its been hot lately so that may explain some things.. didn't used to make this noise before.
