Thanks for the tip. What would be the policy with respect to paint damage? (mine wore through before seeing the tip on adjusting the top a few months ago)
Thanks

I have a little clear coat wear in that area.
would this a warranty issue?

Thanks for posting C-5 TECH. Is the new weatherstripping thicker?

I have noticed on 02's that the seal is much thicker. I assume this part is the same seal on an 02?

Thanks for the tip. Will check with my dealer on this. They already had to buff and hand-rub the marks out once about two years ago. LOL...so, this is another defect I forgot to put on my list for my '99 navy blue LEMON...my reason for deciding to make this my last vette ever! :mad
