Bubbled-up sail panel
New guy here, so don't throw rocks if this questions been asked a million times. My '02 SS's sail panel looks like it's bubbling-up across the top and some on the sides, like there's a seal underneath that may be seperating. The car stays covered most of the time, so the weather's not a big contributor. Any ideas?

Its the glue GM used. Happens to a lot of people. You'll need to replace it.

I read that the part is discontinued. Not sure how true that is. Mine is starting to show signs of it and so is my dad's. Both are 02's.

Sunset Orange- 2001 Z28
Wouldn't it be a good thing if GM discontinued the part?? Wouldn't that mean the aftermarket could start making them and charge a reasonable price for a change??
Anyway, I still see them on the partsdirect site for $660 and I know I saw them at another site which I cannot seem to remember.

Wouldn't this be great if it was covered by warranty or something? You can slightly see it on mine
