Actually, quite the opposite. The service manager even drove down to the shop yesterday to take a look at it to make sure everything was OK, since they seemed to keep saying "it will be tomorrow" for a few days in a row. He then drove down to the shop earlier today to pick it up, and even had the detailer clean the car up for me.
Honestly, someone that didn't know the car would have thought that everything was fine. I wouldn't really expect him to open and close the top, because it appeared to be fine when shut...I just decided to open and shut it just to make sure everything looked OK. And, knowing what it should be like, I know that it's wrong.
I'm sure that the dealership will get everything corrected. They've done well for me so far with regard to customer service, and I don't expect anything less from them with this issue either.

Well, in the dealer's defense, it probably wasnt something that they thought about, they had it sent for a new top, who would have thought the second wouldnt work.

They brought in a vert specialist to take a look to see what is going on, and will actually keep my car at the dealership for the install. So, the specialist is going to actually work on it at the dealership, vs. sending the car out (to somewhere else)
So, hopefully all will be well.

Hope it works out Mike. I know I went through hell with my decklid during the ducktail install so I know how you feel. Sucks when you have to keep leaving your car at the dealer.
Good news-
"Jonco" will be buying my K&N off me and another forum member "ramairgt1" will be sending me his C&L racer early next week.
Mustangshadow maybe buying the flowmasters.
LCA's, LCA relos, GMS a-arm support, and Stingers all awaiting install at Kevins this weekend if all goes well.
SHR rear medallion and MGW coat hanger kit are enroute.
Gears go in tomorrow at 8am and my chin spoiler is ready for pickup from HCM. I'm going bold with 4:10's let's hope I made the right decision.
Big mod month for me!!!! If all goes well may have a aluminum d/s before the end of the year at an awesome price. Won't reveal anything untill it's certain.

New mod for Jed
Just when you think you'er done
http://www.teamjdm.com/shop/product_...roducts_id=199
This time some JDM lowering engine mounts!
Oh there so nice and blingy 
But that's not the real reason I got them 
I want to lower the motor to better install my strut tower brace and also as a side benefit to lower the CG of the car. I think this helps for better power transfer too, hopfully this isn't...
I can't sleep on the web shopping!

Good luck with the top Mike!
Hope all goes well this time around.
Let's see... at $60/hr, I'm estimating a 3 hour job! 
j/k.. maybe we'll hit In N' Out again!
I think it's a good choice going with the 4.10's. If you want bang for the buck, I don't think you would've been happy with the 3.73's.
Told ya Jed that there's some aftermarket (lowering) motor mounts.
I just didn't know from who or where to get them.

I figured out how to know when you are done modding, when you run out of money

Gear install went without a hitch. No wines or moans. Two more "heat cycles" before I let it rip.
Chin spoiler is installed.
SHR Medallion is here. (Bill might be installing at Kevin's if we have time)
I've got pics of it all I'll post later. Also a mini-review of the gears so far. I'm off to an orthodontist appt.
