Mike454, is there a link to where you saw the panel for sale or did you go to the dealership?

If you go to the gmpartsdirect online catalog, you can find the PN's and then you can also see GM list pricing as well as the GMPD pricing...they usually charge a lot for shipping...but "their" pricing should be comparable to what you can get from a dealer if you're friendly with the parts guy.

I bet if you let it sit out in the heat on a sunny day it will help it come off easier and a head gun too.

Sail panel / XM antenna

Does anybody besides me think that would the perfect time to add a permanantly mounted satellite antenna to the sail panel? I am going to replace my sail panel sometime around the first of year and am seriously thinking adding the antenna to it. Of course I would use one from a corvette due to the fact they are a little more of a lower profile. Has anybody done this yet?
