I woiuld think a Lawyer could simply send GM Legal and GM customer service of this ongoing issue.

I will look around and see in my Lemon Law papers if I have the address to where GM is located the P.O. Box...............inundating them with letters could be a good thing.

Or Scott Settlemire (sp) the Fbod God..........he's around and he may be able to give us some advice.

I seems to only affect the T/As I've never seen any Camaro owners post about this type of problem, as for contacting GM you might want to look in your owners manual, and look for the GM district office phone number, and contact them that way

Where did you hear that? And is it for all of them, or just for the Anniversary model?

Got a 99 and both of my doors are cracked. Was thinking about taking them off and superglueing them back together for a temp fix.

Its on the door panel about 2-3 inches from the back on the top of the panel. My drivers side did it. You really cant do anything to prevent it,I plastic welded mine together when I did my custom door panels and its fine now.

I also have a crack on the driver's side. It is about 1/2in long. I thought I would search for a thread to fix it and found this. I didn't realize it was such a big problem for everyone.
