Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Sorry if this is posted elsewhere on this site, but 1) are there still glass window separation problems with these tops? read some horrible stories on renntech about a guy who had to have this top replaced three times due to separation problems immed. after installation. 2) are there any engine bay access problems. Thanks again. docdyh

POST 2Original post

do search the threads. There's pages and pages of discussions about it. Early GAHH tops did separate, but they got it fixed. There is a small amount of engine access issue, but it's not hard to unbolt a couple of things and get more access if needed. The only reason to be up top is engine air cleaner and MAF replacement, so it should not be a decision factor in my book. I'm getting one later this year.
