Convertible - Dealer Prep Time?

I just bought a 2011 Camaro Convertible. At first the sales person said it could be ready for delivery in 2 hours (it just arrived by carrier this morning). Now she says they need 2 days due to special work they have to do with the convertible top. Does anyone know what this is about? She was very vague and didn't understand either she said... I am wondering if there is something else wrong with the car (shipping damage) that they don't want to tell me?? Any help out there?

First, congrats on your purchase.

However, something sounds odd. They typically want to get the car off their grounds.

I would ask what special work they need to do, and if there are any problems, point blank.

Have you seen the car?

Thanks Jason - I went to the dealership. They described work needed to be done as directed by Chevrolet. Their description had to do with a bar and water retention bag that needed to be reworked. Still pretty vague. Subsequently my wife found "water management bag," GM Tech Bulletin # P10406. Apparently, Chevrolet has had some issues with a specific VIN range and our car is impacted. The dealer said this is only the 2nd convertible they had gotten and previously didn't know about the service bulletin.
