Anyone Getting This Problem?

Post by MJN2 »

I haven't taken any pics of it yet, but the rubber strips that run along the top of the cladding around the wheel wells on my GT are starting to discolor and crack.Turning a lovely shade of brown, by the look of it. Anyone else having this happen?Anyone have replacement part numbers? I can't imagine that it would cost much to replace all of them. There are 6 pieces total.

Yep... Check the attachment - does that look familiar?There are part numbers for this stuff scattered about... I think in one of the cladding threads. I need to replace the stuff on mine too... Looks like dump at the moment!

Yep, that's what it looks like. Apparently the search is having a hiccup or something today, because I couldn't find anything prior to starting this thread.

Found it! http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=12412 Unfortunately, I didn't check my paperwork vs. those part numbers like I said I was going to do! Holy smokes though... If these are the actual rubber pieces, I think I'll leave the turd brown ones on my car. Looked up the first part # and it was $26 at GM Parts Direct! $44 at the dealer! Should have had that taken care of when the car was still under the original warranty!

yet another advantage to the Shadow colour!'turd brown' rubber parts don't show up as much!
I have signatures turned off so I'm not even sure what mine says in this space!
