UPDATE: GM responded to my complaint from the BBB. Got to the next level of GM customer service. A little bit friendlier this time around. They collected some info from me (basically the same thing they did the first time I called GM) and said they would call the dealers, factory rep, and investigate further and get back to me on the 9th.
My b-day is on the 8th, it would be such a nice present from GM to a person from a family who only buys GM cars, if they would tell me go ahead and get the roof replaced free of charge. But somehow I just don't see that happening.

You get any response back yet?

Have not heard anything yet. The only people I have heard back from so far are the BBB. They claim since the vehicle is outside the 3yr/36k warranty that there is nothing for them to do since they don't deal with extended warranties.
I tend to file an appeal with the BBB. Since this is not an extended warranty, this is a warranty from the factory that GM is only applying to a select few. I think that violates fair business practices and the BBB should take action.
GM never calls me early, so I expect to hear from them on the 9th, if not they'll hear from me on the 10th.

Technical Service Bulletin, and I think $200 bucks is a little on the low end for this repair, sounds to me like they are not replacing the roof panel, which does not fix the problem.

question. im just starting to see some very small bubbles on my sail panel. its a black 02 TA, bought in 01. hasnt been daily driven since 02, garaged and covered, no rain/snow/intense sun, washed/waxed religously. should i look into getting this replaced, while i still have some warrenty left? or since it never sees elements, would it be alright to put it off? or do the elements have nothing to do with it, just time?

i would check into getting it repaired. it's just a matter of time before it gets worse. mine is kept in the garage and never driven and i have the problem.
