I get the feeling when you remote start that it follows the temperature setting and depending on other metrics turns the rear defrost on automatically. So far I am a fan.

Anybody else have leaks with the 2012 hard top? Mine has been to the dealership three times, they replaced the seals on the freedom top and front doors. The also took off the front doors and adjusted the hinges to fix the gaps in the doors. It's still leaking, although not as bad.

Mine was dripping a little in the front right above my radio. I would find drops on the dash and on my nav screen. I loosened the big hand screws on the back of the freedom top and it stopped. I'm guessing the tops have to be on even to prevent leaking all around.

At about 11k in mileage I've been hearing bells... LOL. Well its two things.. one I don't know and the other is the Low Tire Pressure light comes on and the bell rings... then after I drive a quarter of a mile it goes off again. Its done this a few times and I associated it with the fluctuation in the weather... but a couple of times I've heard the same bell and had no indicator lights (seat belt loose, low tire, or low fuel light) yet it would ring a few times and then be done for the remainder of the trip. I'll have to track the time now that I think of it.. could be a lunch or dinner bell... who knows.

Has anyone who had one or both heads replaced experienced a drop in mpg? I was getting 20 before the repair and now am only getting around 18. Wondering if i should I go back to the dealership.

No replacement or ticking yet... been averaging from 17.5 to 18.5... can't seem to break the 19mpg barrier yet. I did take a road trip a few months ago but I lost my receipt for the gas and couldn't remember how many gallons I bought so couldn't perform a calculation for that trip. So my averages are combined freeway/side street mileage.
