2001 SS owners,

Why there's nothing said about this is beyond me but there was a batch of 2001' SS's built with DEFECTIVE ROOF PANELS-BAD-RESIN-BAD-PAINT. My dealer has agreed to put on a new roof panel on my SS. Re-painting will NOT WORK! Your dealer must order a new rood panel from GM. Some goof-off on the Camaro assembly line put on some bad resin. Check your roof panel if you own a 2001 SS and if you see a bad orange peel paint job or if you can see the resin under the paint bubble up under direct hot sunlight then your part of that group.

My question is I DON'T WANT ANY SCREW-UPS WITH MY DEALER WHEN CUTTING OFF MY BAD ROOF PANEL AND PUTTING THE CORRECT ONE ONE,,,,, so,,,,,,

I want to take pics of my SS before, during and after the procedure. I am going to ask my dealer if there's a problem with this and I am gonna request I be there in person to watch them hack off the bad roof panel. I want to write up a mini-agreement that specifically tells where there is already scratches on my SS or any problems before they begin.

Am I asking to much or am I being "complicated"?

If your SS is like this please contact me at RLYC@bellsouth.net

A walk around noting any prior damage is always a good idea. It protects both sides for a future disagreement.

A photo log of the process might be nice if it doesn't interfere with the body shop's operation and they don't have to wait for you to take pictures.

Thanks for the tip on the roof panels for others with an '01.

Hi Ray, I don't think your are asking for to much! When I thought I had an engine defect I was on the phone to the dealer, the BBB and Chevy--3 times each. These cars cost alot of money and alot of us have waited and dreamed of owning one for a long time; and if there is a Chevy or dealer problem they should make sure that you are happy with the end result!!!
