My turn ... New Roof

[howardpm]

sad had my roof down today for the first time since it got replaced (for some strange reason is 60 outside in early January) anyways either I'm just going crazy or after being down 1 time Im noticing some wear marks, though it could be just dirt, won't know till later this summer.

Hopefully, you are just seeing things Howard. I thought about putting the top down yesterday after washing ours. My wife will probably have the top down on her way home tonight. I will have to have a look when I get home.

By the way, does your new roof have the little "pockets" in the seams coming down the back under the window? I never noticed those on the original top and assume that it is new for the replacement top. But I could be wrong.

I dunno, I'll take a look on the way home today. Unless its to dark maybe check tomorrow morning.

I did not see anything on the Driver's side, but I think that I saw a whitish spot on the passenger side. But it looked like a circle, so it may have been a water drop of something. I am probably just seeing things. I will definitely keep an eye out either way.

I didn't see any pockets, but I might have been looking in the wrong spot. Can you take a picture?

Good news on the top! Wouldn't have broken my heart if you left off the whine on the loaner radio. Truly nit picky.

Yeah, I know that it was a nit picky complaint. But it did annoy me to have to constantly adjust the volume. Oh well, I guess that I am a bit picky when it comes to my car. And as it turns out, there is an adjustment for it in the Buick. I found it. So truly an unnecessary comment I guess.

I apologize for my loaner car complaint.

I can try to get a picture tonight. It is really just a curiousity to see if they have changed the design of the seam since I don't remember seeing it before. Thanks for indulging me Howard.

Picture one. The seam


Picture two. My hand in the pocket


Did the old roof have this?

Hey Dain,

I have the original roof (12/04 build) & it has those pocket like pleats

[Gr8Dain]

OK. Thanks for the confirmation. I had a feeling that I had just never noticed it before.

Jun 04 build - and got the pockets

Is there a competition yet for the longest-lasting hood without a change???
