Tried to convince the dealer to use some sort of glue or double stick tape to hold the molding in place but they wouldn't -said that if it didn't come on the part then they aren't authorized to do it - UGH ... The problem is the lit...

Thanks to everyone who responded with advice and suggestions ... I am contacting GM today to discuss the fact that so many people are having problems at the 26,000 - 30,000 mile mark and to see if this is something that they have addressed.
