Convertible Top Problems!
Hello everyone, I am new to the site but came looking for help! I have an '06 G6 convertible with 70k miles on it. Physically, the car is in immaculate shape, but I seem to have some new problems with it!
The biggest and most concerning is the convertible top. At the end of the summer, the top would "pop" open when I went to put it down, but it would not lift up and go down. When I would reverse the button to close it, it closes and locks back up with ease. Any suggestions on what it is? As spring is coming, I am taking it to the dealership on Monday to have it fixed. What should I expect??
A second problem I am having is with the heat. It takes forever to warm up, and the heat only blows when I hit the gas! When I am at a light, it immediately starts blowing cold air. Any suggestions there on that?
Thanks!!

My top will do nothing it is in the closed position but will not open just seen how to check the fluid level will check to see if that is the issueWhat is your specific issue? This thread is rather general.
I agree about class action my 2007 Pontiac g 6 has been nothing but problems and more more moneyHave you received any help with the hard top? I think we all should file a small claim against GM for just leaving everyone hanging? [email protected]
Okay, I'm having the car examined by a shop that used to work for the defunct Pontiac dealership in my area; they informed me they have a DVD from GM on how to work on it. said that the vehicle lid was in position and that the top was up, as it would do on its own, but that the trunk lid was out of alignment and that they didn't know why. I informed them they hadn't done anything illegal and that they never put anything in there with the top down. The only thing that could have gone wrong was if I hadn't properly closed the trunk lid after securing the safety shade in place.
Where is the place you took it and can they or will they work on it? Thank you!OK i am having the car looked at by a place the used to do the work for the former local Pontiac dealership they have a DVD from GM on how to work on it they told me. Said that the trunk lid was setting back out of adjustment and didn't know the cause the have the top up which is would do on its own and its secured with truck lid in place but you can't open the trunk. I told them haven't done anything wrong and never have items in there with top down. The only thing that might have happened was when pulling the safety shade into place i may have not shut the trunk lid down good. They told me they didn't think that caused a problem because there are sensor that would not have allowed the top to retract if the truck lid was not latched correctly. I am praying they can get it fixed was going to drive to Florida 4/6 and stay with friends for a week and wanted to use it. Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated also if you could suggest a list of parts that go bad I am thinking of buying the ones I can find now while I can still find them to stock pile them. Even if I don't use them I figure I could sell them with the car in couple of years since its like brand new. I feel like I need to sell it sooner if I can't use the top that was why I bought it to begin with.
