Default New Sail Panel
Local body shop did the work, I think they did a nice job. It`s so nice to see my car sitting in the sun and not seeing bubble`s pop up, or hearing the following '' Nice car,oh you have the roof bubble`s to '' or ''Whats wrong with your roof? Rust''.

How much may I ask? And did they supply everything or did you get a sail panel on your own?

I purchased the sail panel and two trim pieces from GM Parts direct, the install cost was $550.00.

x2 on the parts number. I recently had my car go through a nasty hail storm. I am getting some body work and a brand new paint job and thought I might as well do this along with it. thanks

The cost to paint match was included and they did a perfect job of it!

Here are the part numbers through www.gmpartsdirect.com

Roof Panel - 10254708
Applique - 10240165
Applique - 10240164

You only need the above three parts.

I heard the company that made them went under. Hopefully GM finds a new supplier at some point I in the marker for one as well.
