Others with indentations/creases/discoloration in the area of Z-U-Later's perforation...any further deterioration, etc.?
I still have a 3/8-inch crease and a small (1/8") indentation (pinch?) on the driver's side. More wrinkles, but no crease or indentation on the passenger side. The driver's side canvas is a bit more taut which may explain both the crease/indentation and the fewer wrinkles.
I will likely visit my dealer for the "free" first service (biting my nails), audio system recall/upgrade, and to discuss the top issue sometime in late September or early October. Because I drive my ZR only recreationally (just 1100 miles in less than 3 months), I fear that the top issue may progress slowly only to leave me with the cost of replacement after expiration of the warranty. Anone know...is the top covered under the general 3-year warranty, or is it subject to the 1-year "exterior trim" exclusion? I've read that warranty twice, and it's still not clear to me.
Sorry for the long-winded post, but it's my new love we're talking about here. Hee!

Vifferman, yes they did resolve all my installation issues but guess what not more than 2 months after the new top was installed I started seeing wear marks in the same location again and it had gotten worse. I'm certain that a whole will apear shortly. I took it back to the dealer and my service rep agreed. After a few calls to Nissan Corp. my service rep got Nissan to fly out a top specialist to take a look at my car, they may have to replace the whole top assembly. They needed to find out the underline cause of what is causing the holes or else it will just keep happening. So the specialist is flying in next Thursday and I will be dropping my car off on Wednesday so he can have all day to look at it. The dealership is providing a loner car. Does anyone know if the lemon law applies here? I think is states if the same problems occurs 3 times and they cant resolve it they have to replace the vehicles or something, I could be wrong.
