Just took a trip to my local dealership with the TSB for this. I showed it to the Shop Manager and he came out and looked at the car. Said hed call me tomorrow after he gets the Bulletin No. confirmed to set up an appointment. I guess you just have to find a dealship that doesnt have a ******** managing it and come with a copy of the actual TSB.

 

wish you all the luck in the world .

 

It really depends on the service manager and the district manager. If one of those two guys doesn't want the work done it wont happen unless you force them with the BBB or something else.

 

Well I got a call back from the dealer today and they had nothing good to tell me. They told me that my car is out of warranty so they wont do the work.. Well no **** its out of warranty, the car is 8 years old!! That doesnt justify my roof bubbling. If a TSB is issued addressing this problem that can be found on 90% a these vehicles, the manufacturer SHOULD be jumping to help out the owners. There is nothing that any of us have done to cause or could have done to prevent the roof from wrinkling an blistering. I feel so helpess..this sucks

 

we feel your pain , thats why i done mine myself !!

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

If any others on here have CASE ID numbers, PLEASE post them! I have a case ID myself for the same problem, however I gave the 800 number guy the case ID posted earlier in this thread. The guy on the other end of the phone came back on and said GM is aware of the problem and he is bumping the issue up based on the ID number I provided him.

The fact of the matter is, the more CASE ID numbers we have, the better! My ID number is: 71-637115275

When they call back, I would like to have more ID numbers to provide them with. The more the better proving this issue is being resolved in similar cases.

Hope this helps some people out!

 

Thanks!

I should also say, please post what the status on your case is as well. IE: they fixed it for free, they paid a %, or it's been denied.

 

I got mine fixed for free with 103,xxx miles, and I was out of the 6yr warranty also. Original owner.

 

Just got done talking with my case worker for the BBB and they are starting research on the issue. I directed him to LS1Tech and this thread specifically. My case number is 71-637369114.

 

I wish you luck, I went through the BBB, and GM 3 years ago and I still have not gotten mine fixed.....

 

I also sent the BBB and GM to this thread and i got mine fixed for free.

 

Got mine fixed. But I had an insurance claim for a bit of body work and the body shop got GM to cover the expense some how.

 

Hmmm, my 01 WS6 has 56k on it, but its older then 5 or 6 years old, would I be covered?

 

no

 

It depends on how good your relations with your dealership is. Customer loyalty.

 

I tried this last Friday and he told me straight up, that I'm two years too late.

 

Where is the cheapest place to buy the sail panel for us do-it-yourself people?

 

It is a GM part I do not know if any aftermarket companies make one or not...check with you local body shop they should be able to tell you about its availability.
