They asked me to return tomorrow and they will look into it further. I'm hoping that I am as lucky as you and that they cover it. They did tell me that they have yet to see this problem.

I will keep you posted on my situation.
Im sure you know by now there is a recall. You shouldnt have a problem getting it replaced

Anyone with a 2011 check all the stitching, I had pin holes at the passenger side B-pillar no where near were the bows could rub.

Dealer looked it up and it wasn't part of the recall, so he had a tech look at to confirm there's holes (apparently me showing him wasn't enough?) and it's getting replaced anyway under warranty.

I don't know if mine does this because I always open my tailgate when I put my top down, had no problems with it rubbing once its down though!

having mine replaced also 4790 miles and they saw the pinholes and the guy told me they repalce the top and order "shields" to add with the new top and it fixes the problem I better not have other issues after they replace it, we all know how that goes.......:mad :
