I just bought a 2012 Gran Sport with an issue with the electric top. I knew there was an isue when I bought the car.
I took it to the local Chevy dealer and they have found two sensors that have failed. And the bad news is the sensor has been discountinued from GM.
The two sensors are:
GM 19120624
GM 19180913
Does anyone have a source for getting these sensors?
Common issue. GM has discontinued many parts for the C6.
I had an issue with the top sensor where it makes contact with the windshield. The sensor that the "pin" of the top fits into was broken. It kept sending back the "Top not closed" message.
After searching the country for this part I was able to track down TWO of them at junk yards.
My suggestion: Find junk yards that have a convertible C6 and they should have it.
There are MANY yards that specialize in the C6.
I did find the 5-bow sensor and tonnequ cover sensopr and took them to the local Chey delear who was doing the work. After almost 4 weeks, I got a call from the service advisor that that to spring steel of tyhe tonneau cover sensor went flying off and the tech could not find it, And the parts dept was unable to find a replacement sensor.
I went to get the car back since nothing was happening. When I got the car back, I now have a "Top Not Secure" message on the DIC. This wasm't happening before I took the car in. Not only do I have the message but the trunk release button does not wotrk with the top up and locked. When I manually lower the top, the trunk release button works.
Does this mean the sensor at the windshield is bad?
