Subject: Door Glass Comes in Contact with Convertible Top (Adjust Number 4 Bow)

Condition

Some customers may comment that the door glass is coming in contact with the webbing of the convertible top in the upper rear corners.

Cause

This condition may be caused by the number 4 bow being out of adjustment.

Correction

1. If the glass looks good to the opening with no windnoise or water leaks complaints, then proceed with the number 4 bow adjustment. If the door glass is out of alignment, align or adjust the glass.



2. Use a 10 mm open end wrench to loosen the jam nut. Move the upstop counterclockwise to tighten top cover. Each turn moves the upstop 1 mm (.039 in). There is a 4-to-1 ratio between the upstop and the top of the bow (one turn moves the #4 bow 4 mm (.16 in) at the top). Two turns of the upstop should be sufficient to tighten a loose top. Refer to the illustration above.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.

Thanks for posting this Service Bulletin! I'm taking mine in for warranty service in a few weeks.

My car has this issue and the webbing actually wore through at about 10k miles. Like the bulletin indicates, my car has no leaks or windnoise so I never though anything was wrong.
