It’s pretty much a fact of life that the fifth-generation Chevy Camaro is nothing short of awesome. Unfortunately, the folks at Chevrolet haven’t gotten around to making the coveted T-Tops variant of the reborn bow tie pony car. The closest to a T-Tops Chevy Camaro today is the unique conversion by Drop Top Customs — and contrary to popular assumptions — the conversion does not nullify the Camaro’s factory warranty.
According to the Drop Top Customs’ website, the aftermarket firm offers a one-year, parts and labor warranty as well as an additional three-year warranty for mechanical parts. Perhaps even more importantly is the following:
“And contrary to what many people believe about conversions, our work does not void the vehicle’s factory warranty. Our warranty covers the areas we affect, and the remaining areas are covered by the manufacturer’s factory warranty.”
One of the main reasons for my writing this article is the amount of Camaro owners, current and future, who’ve come to GM Authority concerned about negating the original GM factory warranty if they were to actually go through with the (absolutely sick) T-Tops conversion.
To top it all off, Drop Top Customs also provides manuals that include thorough instructions on the use and care of your newly-converted vehicle. And should you need any parts for the conversion, the oldest aftermarket convertible converter in the United States maintains a full inventory of spare parts that — in most cases — can be shipped out the same day.
So there you have it, folks – if you want to T-Top your Camaro, there’s not that much risk involved after all. And no, we’re not affiliated in any way, shape, or form with Drop Top Customs… we simply enjoy their work. At the end of the day, the decision is totally yours.

I never liked T tops but I do like convertables.
Not a fan of t tops myself (as years back they did rattle quite a bit)…..but the targa top on my vette doesn’t rattle…and is nice during the spring summer and fall months.
I get an awesome tan just cruising with the roof off while I take my handicapped son to his various activities like special needs horseback riding every saturday up in wesley hills.. (awesome roads)
I leave the roof off all summer long and its a great experience….
When I had my z06…I never knew that I was even missing the roof off experience…Now….
The only time I put the roof on is if I am leaving the car at the various malls etc…More for the radar detector, GPS etc…than for the car.
Good to hear GM is not voiding any warranties for those who want t tops..
Thats pretty cool of the general..
IMO
Now if they would fix the horrid taillights on the camaro. the car is great except for the butt ugly rearend. They should have used the Trans Am concept rear end instead of the butt ugly ones the camaro has.
