07 Has New Stable Mate
Wifey got a new ride! A used 2010 V6 vert. Now my GT has some company in the garage. I need some advise though I have never owned a convertible, the two bottom photos show a few cracks in the vynl top, is this something I could turn in as a warranty claim or not? I have also noticed on both doors when they are opened the glass retracts like the coupes but they will barely catch the top upon opening the doors is this normal? Some input would be helpful. Thanks.

unless there is an extended warranty which the former owner forgot about, you gotta pay for any issues on a 2006.
Cloth tops are the better of the 2, in case you need a new roof. But those little cracks are nothing to be concerned about.
Mainly, you'll just need to make sure the roof's mechanicals get greased in the right spots and that you close the top first, latch it, then roll up the windows, with the rear windows going up first.

Sorry, fine print: no warranty on vert top or clutch.
Get a tire shine sponge and some Mothers or Optimum Protectant and wipe the whole top down, then hit the white that's showing with a black sharpie.
