I brought my 05 Limited to Westbury JCP in New York this morning armed with the TSB info. I got a call by early afternoon that the top is, in fact, covered, and that they have already placed an order for the top, which should take 5 days to receive, at no out of pocket expense to me. I also brought it for 2 minor issues; the trunk latch does not usually function on the 1st or 2nd attempt, and the heat/AC vents seem to always emit, albeit very slight, some sort of conditioned air. They said they cannot replicate the latch issue and that it is normal to experience some sort of air leakage from the vents at all times because it is not a complete seal. Has or does anyone else experienced this issue?
I will report back once the top has been installed.
Thanks for all the great info on the subject of the top!
