Default Does GMPP Cover the top crazing?

The title pretty much says it all. I know it happens to most of the tops, but will the GMPP warranty cover it if it in effect at the time? It really looks like crap and is just getting worse.

Thanks

If so, they can replace mine.

It really is surprising that no 3rd party offers top refinishing - guess it is like everything else - cheaper to replace it.

Why not give it a try? Worse thing they can do is deny it.

In MA it is under comprehensive and covers all glass. Mine had a crack in it so I took it in to the adjuster. He wasn't going to but I told him it would be a lot cheaper for the insurance company to buy me a new top vs waiting for it to fly apart on the highway and cause an accident. Guess that worked.

I guess that is the answer as no one has said they have had it replaced. Thanks for the replys. Now I just have to decide what to do.
