Default Roadster Top Question, should I get a new one from dealer

Ok, my top doesn't seem to have separation problems, but there's one area on the passenger side (where three fabrics meet) that I can see daylight through from the inside.

It's still solid (not a hole), but it's just thinner at that one section, think enough that you can see daylight come through. I don't drive the car in the rain so I don't know if it gets wet, but when I wash the car I have no problems. I have 31K miles and will probably have 36K by early 07.

Is this enough for the dealer to give me a new top?

On another note, when I go over some bumps in the road, sometimes I hear a clunk in the front suspension, like a control arm bushing or something. Is this normal? I figured I'd mention that as well. Other than that the car is PERFECT.

It might be enough, I know on my brothers roadster the seam was starting to rip even tho it had not rip enough to expose the inside of the car the dealership replaced the top... I would proabably swing by your dealership and show it to them...

As far as the noise goes, I have not noticed anything like that... I would probably have the dealership check that out also...
