Default What Should I do

Hey Guys I just got my car back from the dealer they installed a new top. It took a month for them to get one in, I didnt care they gave me a rental and I piled the miles on it and extended my warranty for free. Anyhow I was driving today and I noticed the ceiling is coming apart(cloth part). Im planning to take it back, what should I ask for. replace it or repair?? Can i Ask for a clear top or get credit towards one?

The headliner just sticks in; it has an adhesive (sort of like double-sided tape) on the back. Just press it against the top, it'll probably stick there. If the adhesive has been damaged they can just order you a new headliner.

You do not ask. You just show the dealer the concern. The dealer will decide the correct repair procedure.

This is the exact reason I went with the clear roof. I had heard about this issue way before I even ordered my car. Now I'm glad I went the route that I did. I do however hope that everyones issue with this roof is fixed.

I have a clear top now myself. Unfortunitly, I bought it about 6 weeks ago becasue I was afraid to drive the car.
