Just noticed today that the top on the drivers side is rubbing against the trunk liner where a seam folds when it's stowed away.  The other side is OK and the top looks to align good so I'm not sure what is causing it to rub.
Also ever since the dealer replaced my Water Pump 3 mos ago I get a whiff of Dexcool then it seems to go away.  Been watching the coolant level and it doesn't seem to be dropping so I'm not sure where the smell could be coming from.  Check ed all the lines I could think of to look for a leak and nothing so it kind of has me baffled.   Thought it could be dripping from the over flow but I can't tell so I'm thinking of plugging the overflow to see if I still get the smell of dexcool.  Anyone ever have issues with the heater core leaking?
Thanks

Top rubbing against trunk liner - depends on where you are talking about.  If you are talking about along the side near the back when the top is folded, TS posted a mod a year or so ago that involves pinning the trunk liner back at those points.  Makes the trunk close easier too.  Is that where you mean?

I noticed that my top was fraying on the bottom side of the buttress where it folds.  Since it is normally not visible, I have duct taped it while I think of what better to do.

I think I found part of the issue.
The liner had shifted a bit and was not tucked under the fender but over a bit causing it to bulge out.  When I tucked it back under there was 1/2" Clearance again.  I might still pin it back since it might shift again and cause more wearing on the spot.
