So is there any way GM will fix it for free by replacing the panel? If not where do you get a new one and what kind of glue do you have to use for it not to do it?

IT's not the glue it's self. All they use is the same thing that your windshield is held in with. The problem is that GM quit putting a sealer on the sail pannel (the bubbling one), they just put it on with the bare SMC showing.

What about if a sealer is applied to the whole panel and them repaint it....will it come through again? I read in Pontiac High Performance that this should stop the problem.

I tried bondo, epoxy, and then glazing putty. bubbled through all of them in a week.

I see but non of those are a true sealer...I will ask my local bodyman. As I said there was an article about this but I can not remember what sealer they mentioned.
