You would deal with the same thing with any car manufacturer. Your car is no longer under warranty.

Well if ya cant get it fixed, how would ya get the sail panel off to fix it? If ya just repaint they're going to just come back. My 01 does'nt have them yet but I can only guess the same glue was used on mine aswell.

You replace the sail panel.

it's not even that they are telling me there never was a recall... I get it it's almost 9 year old ....etc but that's bullshit to say there is nothing wrong and it was not due to the way it was put together...than one dude saying "hey Love to fix it but the higher up's will not let me" and the higher up's saying "it is on the dealer" .....it's all B.S.... my uncle has a 98 GT mustang with the 4.6 but his hood got a few bubble spot's he was the 2nd owner and last year they changed it free of charge for him.....I will never kick over to a ford but I will NEVER GET A GMC car again fuck em I like my money.....you guy's are great and truly helpful but damn there is always a problem and GMC will not even do the right thing.....

This is all MHO I always stand behind any car I have and I was a proud own of this Ws6 ( I had a 1983 and 1987 iroc and I had a 1983 iroc that was made to look like a 1987 z28) I own now....until now, why stand behind a car when the company who makes it will not? To think a Ford or whatever would have done a little more for their customer's, just makes me think it is not worth it...after i fix this 0410 code it is gone, fuck it....just my two cent's....

i've got bubbles. definitely not a deal-breaker.

i haven't even pursued trying to get it fixed because
a) i dont think its very noticeable, i only found them after reading
this thread
b) i dont think its worth the trouble

thats just MHO.

tell me about it, i spent around $1200 to redo the rear-end, had the 410 so i changed a few things but to make me pay $600 to fix something that was made poorly from factory was the nail.... I had nothing to do with and they didn't want to help even a little....I could have paid the $600 in cash on the spot but it would have bothered me so screw GM.....
